Aren't Orange UK objecting to it too?

Great news! Do the US operators penalise people for roaming from state to state?

"Under the plans, the cost of making a mobile call anywhere in the EU would be capped at 49 euro cents (33p) a minute in year one, while receiving a call would cost 24 cents (16p) at most.

These costs should now fall to 46 euro cents (31p) and 22 cents (14.9p) respectively in year two, and 43 cents and 19 cents in year three."

it's been agreed in Brussels.

there is no way any operator can get out of it.

only downside is, costs at home will prolly go up!

All the Uk networks have already said that because of this they are reassesing the prices of uk calls which normally means a price rise.
