Many European countries are usually considered "not-all-that-free", "socialist" countries by Americans but many of them are quite affluent... and they don't sell their freedom by signing two—years contracts. Strange, isn't it?

Well - in Denmark atleast, it's most likely primarily because it was deemed illegal to bind a customer more than 6 months - otherwise most would probably be stupid enough to do it, to save a dime in the short run.

Fortunately we have some consumer protection :)
