Battle of the press releases

At 9:39 I got an email from Telefonica/O2 announcing a new set of bundled mobile/DSL offerings in the German market (the English version shows the top-of-the-range 16Mbps offering coming in at EUR50 per month for O2 contract subs, including flat rate calls to domestic landlines and O2 mobiles). By 10:15 DT had fired its IFA press cannon, revealing the first steps towards quad-play offerings in Germany with a triple play flat-rate offering starting at EUR81 per month.
