Clarification

I believe that these price caps apply specifically and only to "roaming" charges, i.e. between countries in the EU.

The EU can and is doing this because one of its goals is a "common market", and the telecos have resisted encouragement to resolve this themselves. It was (is?) possible that a subscriber to one telco would travel abroad, yet using the same telco's network there, would get charged significantly more for do so.

I'm pretty sure it didn't help that the EuroMPs voting on this spend time in their home countries, Strasbourg, and Brussels, and got sick of running up huge bills
