    "[...] will re-examine the supposed suicide of Kostas Tsalikidis, 39, Vodafone Greece’s head of network design."

    and let's not forget all the spying on soccer clubs

    Telecom's CEO (at that time) was also FC Inter VP. Somehow Inter's phone calls to refs never made it to the police in the soccer scandal of 2 years ago and they got an Italian title for being oh so squeaky clean (I mean, fielding a player with a fake passport, Alavaro Recoba, for 2 years is not a crime)

    Yes, I thought that too.

    But was it the NSA behind the Greece case, has there ever been much evidence of that? It's hard to overlook that Vodafone is UK-owned, and a hack of that complexity seems so unlikely to have been carried out by a 3rd party. Oddly enough the whole story got minimal coverage in the UK mainstream press too.
