Download or read book Mobile Phone Charges in the Eu written by and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2009 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Committee reported in 2007 (17th report session 2006-07, HL paper 79-I, ISBN 9780104010549) on the proposal from the European Commission to introduce a price cap on voice roaming charges for using mobile phones across the EU. The Regulation was adopted in June 2007, and in September 2008 the Commission proposed amending it. This report examines the proposed amendments which cover caps for text message roaming and data roaming (downloading internet content to a mobile device such as a laptop or mobile phone). The Committee feels the Commission should gather more evidence to support the proposals. The sunset clause, whereby the regulation remains in force for the minimum time required (the proposal is to amend this to 2013), is still supported by the Committee, but it must be combined with better data collection as such data is critical to reviewing the effectiveness of the Regulation. The Committee is concerned at the extension of the regulation to text message and data roaming so soon after it came into effect for voice roaming, when it has not yet proved to be effective for voice roaming and without a robust evidence base. It believes that the text message and data roaming charges are likely to be excessive.

This book was released on 2007-04-23 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report looks at the proposal from the European Commission to introduce a price cap on roaming charges for using mobile phones across the EU. It concludes that there is evidence of a market failure in roaming charges and, because the service is cross-border in nature, it is appropriate for action to be taken at the Community level. However the Committee has some reservations about the Commission's proposal and favour regulation at the wholesale end rather charges to the retail customer. It thinks that regulation based on the average wholesale price would allow companies to offer a range of charges, provide a competitive framework and avoid market rigidities. The Committee believes the regulation should apply for a minimum amount of time and there should be a 'sunset clause'. The proposals are limited to voice messages but there are also market abuses in data roaming and the Commission should consider extending the regulations to these services.

Download or read book EU Abolishes Mobile Roaming Charges written by Cornelia Klugman and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all EU residents own a mobile phone for their personal or professional use. When they travel to another EU country and use it to call, text or go online, they used to have to pay additional costs (roaming charges). This situation, which made travel within the EU more complicated and expensive for consumers and businesses, has come to an end: the latest EU Roaming Regulation abolished the extra costs on 15 June 2017. Since then, 'roam like at home' (RLAH) has become a reality for all Europeans. The new roaming-free zone covers not only the EU, but the whole of the European Economic Area (EEA), which includes the EU and three European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Download or read book Time Law and Change written by Sofia Ranchordás and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a unique perspective on an overlooked subject – the relationship between time, change, and lawmaking – this edited collection brings together world-leading experts to consider how time considerations and social, political and technological change affect the legislative process, the interpretation of laws, the definition of the powers of the government and the ability of legal orders to promote innovation. Divided into four parts, each part considers a different form of interaction between time and law, and change. The first part offers legal, theoretical and historical perspectives on the relationship between time and law, and how time shaped law and influences legal interpretation and constitutional change. The second part offers the reader an analysis of the different ways in which courts approach the impact of time on law, as well as theoretical and empirical reflections upon the meaning of the principle of legal certainty, legitimate expectations and the influence of law over time. The third part of the book analyses how legislation and the legislative process addresses time and change, and the various challenges they create to the legal order. The fourth and final part addresses the complex relationship between fast-paced technological change and the regulation of innovations.

Download or read book The End of Roaming Charges One Year Later written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of data roaming charges on EU citizens was the subject of discussion and debate in the EU for many years. Ending roaming charges was a key foundation of the EU's Digital Single Market, and an important step in building an accessible, sustainable digital society for all citizens. After many years of work, on June 15, 2017 the EU achieved this objective: mobile roaming charges for calling, sending text messages and mobile Internet no longer apply when citizens use their mobile phone in another EU country. Citizens are now able to make use of these mobile services for the same price that they would pay if they were at home. In 2017 a survey was commissioned by the European Commission to measure awareness about the abolition of roaming charges, and the impact this has had on citizens' mobile use when travelling. This current survey follows on from the one in 2017, to assess the impact this change has had one year later. It covers the following: - Travel within the EU in the last 12 months; - Awareness of the end of roaming charges; - Perceived benefits of the end of roaming charges; - Perceived costs of roaming amongst non-travellers; - The use of mobile phone services in other EU countries, including steps taken to restrict use. Comparisons will be made with the results of the previous survey.
