Eu Regulatory Issues

Key passages....

For German mobile users not much will change (under the current proposals).

No "roaming" charges for INCOMING calls but they are expecting incoming rates to be about 69 e-cents per minute. (SGN - D1 prepaid inbound rates are 79 e-cents anywhere).

Possibly cheaper local calls (Ortsgespraeche -- possibly calls within the foreign country)....

Little will change on calls from EU country to another EU country -- callers can expect rates of 1 Euro for postpaid and 2 Euros per minute for prepaid. (SGN - if 2 Euros per minute is the top rate, that will be lower than only a few of the current D1 prepaid rates. Malta to DE is curretnly 2.99 and Malta to other EU countries is 3.49 -- the highest EU rate, I believe.)

================

Still looks like the international cards will be better than these rates.
