Eu Commission Has Dental Problems

Teltarif wrote an editorial today lame the wrong actions of the EU commission on reducing roaming rates. Lead sentence also lamented lack of competition in the telcom industry/roaming.

Personally, I think there is plenty of competition with UM, TravelSIM, 09, etc. Below my response in German. Basically I say that until the European consumer yanks his national SIM card and replaces it with another ---- thereby depriving the nationals of their roaming income, until that happens, they can't expect any changes.

I put in a plug for this site, too.

As I have written elsewhere, I think most people are just creatures of habit and not willing to try something new. Gasp, you would have to retrieve your national mobile voicemail from a landline phone using an international calling card! How intolerable!
I find that teltarif does not give international SIM cards the credit they deserve. Now it is true that the entry fee is somewhat high and the home networks are a bit odd. Nonetheless, if someone must reach you, for business or in an emergency, they will probably call you.
