| INTUG should enjoy this - as regulators lower rates within countries and regions, mobile operators just keep raising rates on intercontinental roaming and texting. Why? Why does a dog lick its balls? Because it's unregulated (the rates that is, not the dog). User: Chris Marsden Subject: Fido plans and options Question: Why are you increasing international text prices by 40% from 4 May? I am very interested in what economic justification there may be for such an enormous increase when international GSM costs are falling so fast. Message.Web@fidomobile.ca |

I am not dissapointed with the continual drop in all types of mobile telephone call costs since the mid 80s. I recall paying 25ppm and 10ppm off peak, £25 line rental and £3 for itemised billing. The development has been superb in the UK. Let markets be markets.
