    Note to self - remember this for the next time someone moans that the EU has never done anything useful ever,

    (not that I love the EU or anything, I just tend to dislike black/white statements of fact when they're clearly inappropriate. )

    Indeed. They have done a lot for mobile roaming over the past couple of years.

    This is great, every week I see a story from someone who has been charge £x000 for a roaming data bill...first thing the EU has ever done for me though, haha.
