Years from now, when they look back on this era, will there still be several unanswered questions most notably being this....for a while UM was by far the most stable of the international roaming companies at least for me IMHO.....that was a time when my LD carrier charged 10¢/minute for calls to +423 numbers with a termination fee of 1¢/minute for +423 mobiles...while CBW charged 16¢/minute to call back to the USA from free reception zones....then....
1. Who was responsible for the dramatic (and I mean dramtic) increase in termination fees to +423???? Was it other telcoms to protect their revenues? Hm...
2. What effect did the eu tariffs have on this whole thing (I think substantial as for Europeans, at least, there were now alternatives for roaming namely using their own carriers and paying relatively inexpensive eu rates) while non Europeans had to bear the brunt of the increases.
3. What happened to O9 (and by extension Yackie)? Here one day, goine the next.
Of course, we could mention riiing (well they were united mobile), hop, ryan air
Now the troubles at UM....(and by extension how are the Estonian carriers doing?)
Some day the truths will all come out, now won't they.
