EU cuts roaming charges
The EU has announced details of its plan to slash the cost of using a mobile phone abroad by up to 70 per cent.
The wholesale cost will be capped based on the cost of the termination rate for calls, which varies from country to country. The EU would annually review an average of this value to set the cap. Then, the mark-up at retail will be limited to 30 per cent. The caps will apply to calls both made and received while abroad.
