The model I saw discussed isn't one of explicit subscription fees.
Simply that the 10 euro price is *only* available when buying a new cellphone and signing up for phone service. That means the 10 euros is effectively a downpayment and the other 50 euros of the cost are hidden in with the monthly phone bill.

That puts it in the same category as the "free" toasters and "free" Kindles that some banks offer when you open a new account. Or the "free lunches" that gave us TINSTAAFL!

It's all a mirage.
