Thanks.
Obviously, the major telcom players would not be too happy to see this lucrative revenue source dry up. Time will tell what tarif relief, if any, will come about. We can speculate all day and still be off totally base.
Just my somewhat worthless thougths..... At this point in time it is hard to imagine FREE INBOUND CALLS across the entire EU as some of the international providers like UM & 09 offer. A more reasonable expectation would be lower OUTBOUND and INBOUND rates -- perhaps a rate cut of 50%. Even with that, inbound on German D1 will be 40 e-cents and I believe the lowest outbound with be 1 Euro per minute.
You would certainly think T-MO and Voda would be able to offer lower roaming rates on internal partner networks. You would even imagine they could program the SIM cards to RESTRICT roaming to these internal partner networks only. True, that would reduce their revenues.
