The new EU mobile phone Internet access regulations: automatic disconnection of more than 50 Euros per month

According to foreign media reports, a new EU regulation that came into effect this week requires that mobile operators within the EU must limit the roaming fee standards for their mobile networking services. According to reporters, this new regulation mainly targets mobile Internet roaming users in EU countries. The regulations indicate that users need to finalize a monthly roaming Internet fee limit with the operator before July 1, 2010. The monthly fee for users who have not made a decision by then will be defaulted to 50 euros (about 465 yuan). When the user uses 80% of the data package quota, the operator will send a warning message to them; after reaching the package quota limit, their network connection will be automatically cut off.

Earlier, the European Commission had pressured mobile operators to reduce roaming charges within the EU. European Union data shows that this move has caused the EU's mobile phone tariff to decline by an average of 35%, about 20 euros per month (about 186 yuan), but the mobile Internet roaming fee has not changed. Therefore, the European Commission hopes that by setting the upper limit of the monthly roaming fee for mobile Internet this time, it will force operators to lower their fees so that people can surf the Internet with ease while traveling in Europe.

the reason

Cross-border Internet roaming fees are staggering

Relevant EU officials believe that this new initiative is a step towards building the confidence of customers to browse the Internet while traveling in Europe. And Zhang Yi, chairman of the domestic wireless Internet consulting company Ai Media Market, told reporters that the EU's measures are undoubtedly promoted to promote the development of local wireless Internet in Europe. "Despite the same infrastructure, the development of wireless Internet in Europe lags behind Japan and South Korea." Zhang Yi believes that although this gap stems from differences in culture and usage habits, tariffs are undoubtedly a very important reason.

It is understood that European telecom operators have been criticized in terms of "consumer rights and interests" protection. Although local internet charges are very cheap in some European countries, cross-country roaming charges are prohibitively high. In 2009, a German tourist was charged 46,000 Euros after roaming the Internet in France to watch a TV show. In another case, a British student spent 9,000 euros on roaming fees in a foreign teaching area for one month. These shocking events have caused the EU to make a painful determination to rectify the Internet charges for mobile roaming mobile phones.

Under EU regulation, operators now charge no more than € 1 per user per MB for downloads. The telecommunications authorities of various countries will be responsible for enforcing this rule together with mobile phone operators. An EU spokesperson said that the European Commission hopes that by setting a monthly Internet fee limit, operators will be able to lower the price of browsing the Internet.

"Capping when it exceeds the upper limit" is better than breaking the network

Regarding the EU's initiative to help users avoid excessive consumption, some Guangzhou citizens believe that restricting Internet access may affect work and life. "Unless there is a calculation form, let me clearly see how long it has been used and how much time is left." Mr. Chen, a citizen, said that if the network is automatically disconnected when it exceeds the limit, it will affect his work and contact friends.

Xiang Ligang, a well-known telecom observer, told reporters that instead of automatically disconnecting from the Internet, it is better to adopt a "capping" method than the domestic limit to ensure that users can continue to enjoy related services. "Automatically disconnect the network, so that users can not enjoy the service, which is undoubtedly suspected of infringing consumers' communication rights, it is not worth learning." Xiang Ligang said.
