@ebu.ch - can I check this is correct? Picking one coutry at random; Ireland had c.268,000 viewers for #eurovision final. Say 10% of them voted, 670 SIM cards (x20 votes) would do to get 50% of the votes costing **€1440** (2€/SIM and 0.15€/text). Not hard to imagine a country manipulating the result
