European carriers about to see data and SMS rate caps?
Europeans should now be accustomed to reasonable roaming rates when calling thanks to the Eurotariff put in place late last year. Well, round two looks set to begin and this time the target will be data and SMS charges -- and we're fully aware how ugly they can get after having racked up $500 plus bills ourselves.
