Same shit as the letter, Wildfire declined cos people got fed up with
the removal of things like Everyphone and left orange.. And because
they weren't allowing new connections, new customers couldn't get
Wildfire..  Orange caused the decline, killed it with 1000 tiny
cuts...  So lets hope they see sense and resuscitate it..
