Not much to add, except
that as a user, I get immensely annoyed at the cost. And its for this reason that I will rarely use my phone overseas.

There is also a sense of frustration, because as much as I would LIKE to use my phone, the cost prohibits it. I then have to rummage around for a local phone solution, find local currency, deal with shop keepers who dont speak my language, and any number of other small issues, which result in a negative experience.

So in a very real sense, there is a human factor working against users. Due to cost, we end up paying significant sums.

As you mention in your article, why not allow carriers to cross borders themselves, in which case they can offer cross border service all from within the one company.

I dont understand why this is so hard. Some countries in Europe are so small, that while travelling across them, if you blink, you'd miss them (more or less).

Is it just me?
