EU lawmakers have reached a compromise solution, backed by all factions in the European Parliament, on mobile phone roaming charges. Under the final proposal, operators will have a three months’ grace before EU-wide caps on charges for cross-border mobile calls are automatically put in place. After the grace period, the charges for cross-border mobile calls throughout the EU will be regulated.
“Our major concession is that we are ready to give operators time before the [capped] euro tariff applies automatically. That is the only concession we can give,” said Joseph Muscat, one of two lawmakers steering the regulation through parliament. (via: PCPro)
