My impression is that the EU is scarcely comparable to the US in economic coherence. Doesn't each country have its own wireless phone laws mandating various things? If you were introducing a new product and had a limited budget, wouldn't you choose the largest single market so that you didn't have negotiate and modify things over and over? Look at the iPhone -- it's in Europe, but Apple has had to deal with a whole bunch of companies, and each deal has required lots of legal fees, etc. etc. Didn't the Europeans rejected a constitution, which would have helped? And don't England and Denmark still have different currencies? By the way, if you don't want to be subject to the discrimination you seem to feel in Europe, why not move to Las Vegas? Houses are pretty cheap there now, and there's no sales or (state) income tax. And no VAT.
