With spanish operators, roaming is about 10€ (~15$) for each megabyte... So 3,5€ for each megabyte is "cheap" for me. Anyway, it's still really-really expensive. And they really could lower the price, as the home operator (the operator you're roaming with), and not the "roam operator" is getting most profits from data roaming. I think Vodafone offers in Europe a rate of 200MB-60€, that's about 0.3€/megabyte. Veredict? Operators have really inflated prices for data roaming... ... In fact, it wouldn't be expensive (for them) to offer a flat rate of unlimited (or with a reasonable data limit) mobile internet, at least in Europe. But money is money.
