Roaming charges will disappear in 2017 – Vasabladet

The EU voted today in favor of a proposal which means that mobile operators’ roaming charges abolished in June 2017.

The European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council have today reached an agreement on legislation that sets an end to the levying of charges for the use of cell phones and smart phones abroad, ie roaming charges in the EU.

For nearly two years ago, the Commission adopted a draft bill for the telecommunications sector in the common market.

The Commission, Parliament and Council reached today, after lengthy negotiations, a compromise solution in the case.

It thus becomes cheaper calling and surfing abroad from June 2017. Within the EU area paying travelers who use mobile phones and smart phones the same price as in their home countries, without any additional charges.

Also, net neutrality get strict rules that protect the right of every European to non-discriminatory access to online content.
