It may be slightly expensive, for the outgoing part at least but it's a good start. Hopefully not every operator will immediately just charge the maximum rate.
I wonder if they have thought about the possible ways that the mobile operators may use to get around this. I can think of a few:
1. A charge for having roaming activated, maybe on a per month basis or charged every time you connect to a foreign network
2. Call connection charges, where the charge for a call may be 40c per minute but you have a connection charge of 1 euro for example.
3. Crazy billing increment like being charged for the first 3 minutes before reverting to per second or per 30 seconds.
4. Increased charges for other services to make up for revenue lost from roaming.
5. Higher charges for roaming SMS & data services.
Theres just a few, I'm sure their minds are more devious than mine.
