Yesterday one of the mobile operators in the UK announced that they have abolished roaming charges for its UK customers when travelling to overseas countries were they have networks. Having been stung by roaming charges on a number of occasions I am hoping that all UK operators will follow suit and we will no longer have to worry about such things when travelling. Given that the vision for mobile is a world network were we can connect anywhere at anytime removing a disincentive to engage in such activities seems highly desirable to me.
