Maybe I was lucky

On my iMac that turned up tail end of last week, I was able to get my free download easily. The download itself came down in a respectable ~1.5hrs on my 8mb ADSL.

Mobile termination fees go to Competition Commission

terminating fees are....

> er, what are they?

they are the fees that the caller network (i.e. your phone company) pay the other calling network (i.e. the phone company of the person you're call) for accepting the call.
