"The vote on mobile phone roaming this afternoon has resulted in excellent news for consumers, who will once again see their mobile phone roaming costs reduced. So-called roaming tariffs are not a deciding factor for consumers when selecting an operator, meaning that operators are having a field day, often charging prohibitively high prices, particularly in Belgium. Public sector intervention is therefore completely justified, in order to restrict these tariffs within reasonable limits, not only for voice and SMS services, but also for data roaming services. For example, the maximum price for sending an SMS abroad will be reduced by 80% over five years, gradually falling from a pre-2009 cost of EUR 0.29 to EUR 0.11 in 2009, before dropping to the capped price of EUR 0.06 in 2014, less than it costs for a user to send one SMS in Belgium! Data downloads will be capped at EUR 0.70 in July 2012, EUR 0.45 in July 2013 and EUR 0.20 in July 2014. With this news, I must point out that mobile phone tariffs in Belgium are the highest in Europe and remind you of the need for the government to act quickly to address this anomaly."@en1
