Data Roaming Charges to remain?

[Cleoriff]

Bad news for travellers to the EU

European regulators have dropped plans to ban roaming charges and have proposed net neutrality rules allowing privileged access in some cases.

According to documents seen by the BBC, far from ending data roaming charges as was promised, the European Commission has recommended that operators be allowed to add surcharges to their domestic rates

Many of us thought that charges would be dropped or at least reduced from info we had in 2013...It looks as if that may be a long way off now...

Heaven forbid the EU would actually want to save it's members money, or 'do the right thing', obviously a back-hander involved here, or too many MEP's with vested interests in telecomms.
