EU delays end to mobile roaming charges to at least 2018

EU member states on Wednesday delayed abolishing mobile phone roaming charges from the end of this year until at least 2018, but insisted customers would still get a fair deal. Roaming charges vary enormously between telecoms operators, and many users complain they pay exorbitant rates to make calls when travelling in the 28-nation European Union. In response, the bloc has steadily whittled down the charges and the European Parliament last year approved a "roam-like-at-home" package which would have ended them altogether from end-2015.
