The roaming thing is actually a hard problem of accounting, for which the actual sollution would be paying directly for internet acces/bandwidth in some way or another. Which in turn is a technical problem of payments.
Providers do incurr costs and risks, they are only not allowed to directly price those anymore. Albeit that i dont have a lot of sympathy for mobile providers, and they fuck and squeeze consumers in every way they can think off (paying for SMS for example), so in that sense the legistlation was not too bad.
Then again, when are they going to ban these stupid subsciption churn praktices; its an entire fucking industry that produces absolutely nothing. All it does is it forces consumers to play this stupid game of 'its the end of my subscription, i will leave if you dont give me another deal' on the one end; and this endless groundswell of small parties with cheap deals that just farm clients in order to sell themselves again to the big providers after a short while.
Anyway, off topic i guess, but you guys got me started 🤣
