The European Parliament, legislative body of the E.U., has voted (534-25!) to put an end to roaming charges with E.U. for all mobile phone users. the change is to take effect by the end of 2015.
Even with caps imposed in recent years, the roaming charges have been enough, surveys say, to make over 90% of users limit calls while traveling. The phone carriers stand to lose about 5% of revenue, but regulators say they will make some up out of increased use.
