Wednesday, April 18- European Union

Wednesday, April 18

On April 12 the EuObserver published an article entitled "MEPs Set to Cut International Mobile Call Charges." Mobile phone operators in Europe will soon have to follow a new law: inter-European international mobile phone calls will be slashed in price by up to 70%, but decisions are still being made on how this should take place. A vote was going to take place later that day on whether or not the proposal of reducing the roaming charges to 0.40 euro a minute for outgoing calls, and 0.15 euro for incoming calls would take place. Disagreements are still going on, whether this proposal will go into effect at once as it passes, or if it will begin with customer the next time they renew their plan or get a new contract. If I was a customer I would want this to go into effect right away. If I'm a paying customer, I don't want to pay more just to talk where the company does not have a cell phone tower.
