Hmmm, o.tel.o (slogan: "For a better understanding") was one of the first private landline competitors to Deutsche Telekom in 1998, and was bought by Arcor a couple of years later, which in turn was now majority-owned by Vodafone, which bought Mannesmann in 2000. I was wondering if they'd make use of some of these old brands.
Shame that Voda can't seem to drop the silly per-minute data billing, or improve upon the small group of countries that one can call for 9 cents/min (not even Canada and the US are included - just Europe). It's still a much better deal than CallYa - perhaps this is a "trial balloon" offer, as Vodafone isn't exactly hiding its ownership of it like it did with smobil being run via "Allmobility".
