Economical Match Fixing

According to Wikipedia,

“Match fixing or game fixing in organized sports occurs when a match is played to a completely or partially pre-determined result.”

Match fixing is sometimes done by the players (like in the Black Sox Scandal), sometimes by the referee (like in the Bundesliga scandal of 2005). Let me elaborate on the role of the referee.

German Telekom kicks Nokia

According to German news portal Heise, mobile network operator T-Mobile (a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom) will not sell Nokia phones in the future. My first thought was, this is due to the damaged image induced by the closing of the manufacturing plant in Bochum. I should have known better. In a couple of weeks, John Q. Public will have forgotten Bochum. The real reason for the decision of T-Mobile is Nokia's Ovi platform. T-Mobile is planning to launch a similar platform and does not need competition at the moment.
