EU forces cap on data roaming charges - Telegraph

Price caps for mobile roaming charges on voice calls and text messages, already in place have also been extended until 2016, according to the Telegraph. The price caps apply to the charges mobile service providers levy on other carriers when subscribers are roaming across national boundaries within the European Union area.

Under the changes, drawn up by European Union telecommunications commissioner Neelie Kroes, the wholesale cost of data connections in a roaming scenario will drop to a maximum of 30 euro cents per megabyte in July 2012, equivalent to 90 cents at retail, falling to around 10 cents in 2014.

High mobile charges have been an issue within the EU for some time, with regulators continuing to put pressure on operators to lower charges.
