- SEMW 13y ago> "From 2014, customers would be able to keep costs down by selecting another provider for calls, texts and internet data services while travelling, if their own network charges extra for service abroad. They could do this without having to change their phone number or buy a new sim card." Seems to me like one of the goals of the new regime is to move at least a bit away from the (somewhat clumsy) regulatory approach of setting price controls, in favour of an approach of reducing transactional costs in order to enable free-market competition between providers in different countries.
