An eloquent critique. Of an insane straw-man regulation ("Article 1: All roaming charges are illegal. Article 2: EOF" ?) that doesn't resemble anything anyone's actually proposed.
Against what's actually proposed (a single EU market for telecoms, with single authorisation for providers, necessarily entailing a significant weakening of national spectrum monopolies - with the ban on roaming charges being a side effect at best, albeit the one that works best as a headline aimed at consumers) it appears to be an argument strongly in favour.
Might it be worth at least considering the possibility that the EC has actually thought about this for more than 30 seconds?
