I was wondering about that as well so I checked (see the write-up): ------------------ Update: Someone on Hackernews argued that international charges would still apply. However, according to this [1]: "International call charges would be capped at the price of a long-distance domestic call and intra-EU mobile calls at €0.19 per minute (plus VAT)." there would be no difference between domestic and (EU-)international, eventually creating the coveted single market. From Ryan Heath, spokesman of Neelie Kroes: (Sven @1sveme) @RyanHeathEU would the new roaming rule mean that a truly single market would be created? Could an Austrian company compete in Germany? (Ryan Heath @RyanHeathEU) @1sveme yes. You could buy your mobile subscription from another EU country and a company could easily set up in another country ------------------ [1] http://ec.europa.eu/news/science/130916_en.htm http://ec.europa.eu/news/science/130916_en.htm (update: edited for clarity, damn, I don't get those formatting possibilities on HN)
