Sydney Morning Herald: The European Parliament has voted to end mobile roaming fees by 2016 and bar providers from prioritising some internet traffic over others, moves that will cheer Europe’s consumers and frustrate industry seeking new forms of revenue.
In a session in Brussels, legislators backed telecom reform legislation that will phase out roaming fees across the 28-country European Union by December 2015, bolster consumer protections on mobile and broadband contracts and seek to make the sale of mobile licences more uniform across Europe.
