The European Commission announced that it’s withdrawing its proposal for the fair-use limits on free roaming in the EU, just days after it was first issued. In a brief statement, the EC said the proposal was withdrawn at the order of Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the Commission.
A reason for Juncker’s decision, and details on when a new proposal would be provided were not given. The EC said it was working on a new proposal. The Commission had aimed to have the regulation on the fair-use policy passed by the end of this year, in time for operators to prepare for the end of all roaming surcharges in the EU in June 2017.
The Commission’s initial proposal had been to allow mobile users to ‘roam like home’, at the same price as domestic services, for a minimum 90 days a year. They would also be expected to connect to their home network at least once every 30 days. In addition, operators could impose a fair-use amount on customers with unlimited plans, based on their average usage in their home market. After exceeding the fair use, mobile customers would be subject to additional charges, at the same level as the proposed wholesale roaming rates in the EU.
