#2Why Europe ahead of US

#3Unfortunately, there is still one important limitation: we will keep the fees for the traffic from our home countries.

#4So the cost incurred will be passed on to everyone in higher fees.
eg people who never "roam" are going to be subsidising those people that do.
A negative move spun as a positive... clever EU, clever.

Roaming costs are price gouging, the associated costs of providing roaming are nowhere near.

There is still a cost. And that cost is going to be passed on to everyone whether you use it or not.

Ignoring the argument on whether having everyone subsidising the few for some things is good or bad, does it even apply here?
Does "roaming" really cost anywhere near what they charge for it? Or does it only cost that because they could all charge each other that in hopes to make out with a little on top?
