Take the battle against roaming prices - Computer Sweden

We’re talking about irresponsible people who forget to turn the tablet on mobile. Should we not also question the operators exorbitant prices for international roaming?

Class=”paragraphIntro”> In Sweden average consumption of mobile data at just over 1 GB per month. An avid mobile users who use streaming services for video and music easily fall over 2GB, writes Ericsson in a mobile report in June. This represents over 70 MB mobile data per day.

During the summer, more operators selling mobile data packages for overseas. Everything from 49 per day for 20 MB to 79 dollars for 50 MB. Many of us surf, however more than 50 MB per day. Although there is sufficient so the cost of a family to be up against 2200 crowns of holiday money a week just for mobile surfing.

operators make money on overseas travel . It depends on international roaming rates you pay to use your subscription in another operator’s network. The EU has rules to protect against overcharging. Outside the EU, lacking such, it is about a negotiation between operators. < /P> Comviq writes in an open letter to Angeles Bermudez-Svankvist that she should have been looking for wi-fi to keep costs down. The fact that an operator should have to tell about the wi-fi network shows that there is something wrong with your tablet price.

trend is still in the right direction. EU introduces further regulation from next summer: free movement of services and goods, free movement of mobile telephony. For the rest of the world is expected no early solution.

I think are required to independent players will fight against international roaming charges and offer alternative solutions so that consumers are better and significantly cheaper option. Then we put the pressure on operators together.

In today’s society , we should be able to use our phones abroad with the same freedom at home.
