BBC NEWS | Business | Firms 'banned' from Iraq mobile bids

BBC NEWS | Business | Firms 'banned' from Iraq mobile bids: "Rules drawn up for mobile phone licences in Iraq by the US authorities in Iraq could bar many of Europe's biggest telecoms companies - and almost all those in the Middle East - from bidding.
The rules - issued by the coalition authorities ahead of a bidders' conference in Jordan on Thursday - ban governments from 'directly or indirectly own(ing) more than 5% of any single bidding company or single company in consortia'. "

Economic Imperialism, with special rules and everything.
