As long as there are international SIM cards that are cheaper to use than ones own [US] provider there will be a need. [The need in the EU is different question. ] Whether the international SIM card providers can last that long might be an important factor. They also provide competition that national providers will have to aim at.

Data will be the last bridge to cross, since voice and text can be done via data as the end game approaches.
