Eu Regulatory Issues

teltarif.de does not yet have this as news.

However, they do report that certain CDU/CSU (conservative) representatives in their parliament are demanding lower international roaming rates. Calls back to Germany with cell phones can cost up to 2 Euro / minute from other EU countries. I don't really see anything new in the article.

No mention of UM, Hop, 09, etc as alternatives in the article. Their link in the article to roaming on their site also makes no mention of those alternatives.

There are some (a few) discussions (meinung) threads about such alternatives.

Seems the Europeans differ about high roaming costs. Consumers should be interested in saving money for themselves.
