Good news or bad news?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Good enws for end user ofcourse, but with all good things comes the bad. Would have to put in an effort to find out how it would be bad, but sadly the amount of effort exceeds my interest in the matter

I still think it is more of a problem in the US than in the EU due to the way the markets in the US work although it means it won't become a problem for the EU in the future. I do question the relevance for many since data caps exist and the traffic that gets affected by throttling tend be the ones that would make you reach your data cap faster.

Excellent news

It's not a done deal yet, but definitely good news.

My concern is that most people stop reading these articles before the end, and the EU parliament knows that...

 

[Olgaline]

With regard to the removal of roaming fees this is excellent news. The mobile phone companies are cheeky fuckers, as if a line on a map actually increases their costs...

Does that mean my phone bill would come down?

 

[Tom]

It will mean that when in the EU, no matter what country you're in, you will be charged for data/text/phone at the same rate as if you were in the UK.

Woo Hoo. I had a £90 bill not long ago.
