Text Messaging and a $130 billion profit pool wait...
Those Americans.. A carrier that charged for any incoming traffic (SMS, voice, etc) in Germany would see its customers flee in droves.

We'd flee if there were anywhere to flee to. The charges are ridiculous, but all the carriers just tout all-you-can-text plans for $10/mo and people buy those.
