Thank you mobile phone producers, for building wonderful mobile phones that can take pictures, play mp3 files, read out tolstoy’s war and peace in 42 seconds, do a shiatsu massage to your cat and take 2 minutes to display a menu or render a digit after you hit a 2 micron wide button on its keypad.

Thank you telcos like Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, for increasing the fares in every possible way, after a nation-wide petition has made some smart polititian aware of Italy being the only Country world wide with recharge rates for rechargeable mobile phone cards.

Thank you Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, for the service you are selling, which has become the worst a phone company might propose to its customers since Meucci (or whoever) being breast-fed by his mother. 

Thank you Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA, for being no longer able to hire programmers who can make your system know when a call has been rejected and for sending me a nice SMS telling me that someone has been trying to call me one second ago.

Thank you Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA and friends, for making customers pay for a no-cost best-effort service like SMS. I’m really happy to see that someone paid for a text message to be delivered to me after 24 hours.

Thank you guys (*), I really wish you could end up in the middle of the desert with a 42 mega pixel Wind mobile phone.

And I really wish that you will only be able to receive two billion promotional text messages each minute making you aware that yes, signal reaches that desert.

And I really wish that after you have spent two hours figuring out how to make a call on that phone, you will find a nice female voice, telling you that Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA does not give a fuck about your phone call.

Amen.
