Analysis of prices and costs for mobile data services abroad
NITA has analysed the prices and costs for mobile data services abroad. The analysis was published June 2008.
The EU Roaming Regulation, which entered into force in 2007, contains an obligation on the Commission to evaluate, before the end of 2008, whether the Regulation should also cover mobile data services (SMS, MMS and other data services). Initially, these services were exempted from the scope of the Regulation, as there was no sufficient basis for determining if the prices for these services were too high and if so, whether the problem was at the wholesale and/or retail level.
With a view to providing a basis for assessing if regulatory intervention is needed, the National IT and Telecom Agency has carried out an analysis of the roaming services SMS, MMS and other data services.
