EU Scraps Plans For Free Mobile Roaming
(AFP) – European Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker has ordered officials to draw up new plans for the EU’s landmark free mobile phone roaming policy after it ran into fierce criticism for a proposed 90-day limit, a statement said Friday.

From the report.

“Roaming means travelling, means moving around the European Union, going on holiday. The Europeans who travel do so on an average of 12 days per year,” Schinas said.
“The Commission with our guidelines have gone much further by abolishing roaming charges for at least 90 days per year,” he added.

So what's the problem about a 90 day limit? Surely that's enough for those who don't go for that long to subsidise isn't it?
