Talks on wholesale roaming rules to start
By EUobserver
Negotiations between member states and the EU parliament on new rules for wholesale roaming markets can start, after telecommunication ministers adopted a common position on Friday. The talks will centre on how much telecom operators will be allowed to charge each other when providing roaming services. The rules are necessary to put an end to intra-EU roaming charges, added to phone bills when surfing, calling, or texting abroad.
