    Help me connect that dots Baronius. The Vettel group won a mobile contract in Hungary, and the investigation you linked to concerns the EU investigating a Hungarian state-owned airline that is being kept afloat with government money.

    And these two seemingly separate events - other than both happen to take place in Hungary - are linked... how?

    I'm confused as well. The link you placed for Viettel winning the 900MHz tender was to an article saying Viettel was excluded because of missing information in its application...

    Yes, most state money that was given to it against EU rules was given by the socialist government. In other words, the Hungarian Airlines (Malév) went bankrupt because of them (as Malév now can't pay back about half billion dollars to the Hungarian state -- the mandatory payback was the decision of the European Commission). Yeah, always blaming the socialists, but what to do, if that's the truth? And this isn't an ideological question, this has facts (year numbers, etc.).

    About the post: I was hoping that Ragusa would spot it first, and would reply without reading the references. But I failed miserably. The post is a fake. (Indeed, there is no relationship between the two things. And Viettel was excluded, yes.) Apologies to all stakeholders.

    Why do I feel like I'm watching an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras? Which is odd since I've never seen the show.

    I never thought that this forum would be directly used to argue for the sake of it, with no goal or aim, at least most of the pointless debates around here start with some kind of purpose, this is ridiculous.

    Baronius - consider this a warning against this sort of nonsense. I already closed the other thread and now I am closing this one. You want to post, make a real post. You want to play games with fake posts, go somewhere else.
