No more roaming in the EU, net neutrality to be upheld

03 April, 2014
Roaming fees are a horrible injustice that have somehow persisted from the dark-ages of cell phones plans.

      And I don't mind seeing UK leave EU for good, it's only been a strain on the EU from the very first day they became part of it. The French had a reason why they were keeping UK out for so long.

              Sort of... I live on an Island on the western extreme of Europe so it won't affect me much but whenever I am on vacation on mainland Europe this will be great!
              Sometimes you are near a border and you don't have network from your country and only from the country next to you and your phone connects to Vodafone and of course you don't even notice you are on Vodafone ES and not Vodafone PT and you get charged for roaming in your own country.
              Besides that, there are lots of people that live in a country and work in another so, great idea EU!

                U.S. value and quality? We certainly don't want anything like the U.S. - overpriced and under-regulated. This shouldn't make it anything like the US, quite the opposite in fact.

Unlike the United States where quality has gone down and prices have sky-rocketed and your have a population that is not able to afford the stuff. I believe Senator Bernie Sanders even made some comments recently about corporations re-thinking their strategy because their consumers were no longer able to buy the stuff.
