Result around here: roaming disappeared from all mobile plans except for the most expensive ones, which got nudged a few euros up.
The frequent travellers (presumably wealthier) get subsidized by the infrequent travellers (presumably less wealthier).

If you're from Northern Europe going to Spain for vacation you now don't have to change money, don't have any border checks and can use your phone like at home. Using Facebook, Instagram & Co on holiday is important to many and will make people feel more "at home" in another EU country. This was never supposed to save money, it was to bring the EU closer together and make borders disappear further. Business travelers had fees paid by their employer anyway, not that much changed for them.
