Now that our industry has been freed from the jack-boot of the EUSSR, they are freed from the hated laws preventing them from ripping off our citizens, now we no longer enjoy that jack-boot protection.
Look forward to other companies rubbing their hands with glee at the new freedoms to rip us off.

As I said in response to another question, what's wrong with commercial companies being able to set their charges as they wish? Neither governments nor the EU should interfere in such matters. Mobile providers incur extra costs when handling traffic outside their own domain and it is reasonable that they should be able to recoup those costs.
Many of these companies are operating cartels or have such a dominant market position that there is no effective competition, protecting citizens from extortionate pricing – NJ and the UK government accept this position.
The EU takes a dim view of companies behaving in such a way – ripping off their citizens; passing laws to protect their citizens, not big business.

Bully for them. They also spend inordinate amounts of time arguing over the price of beetroot. Fortunately the UK is no longer part of that nonsense. The EU is not concerned with the protection of its citizens. It is concerned with protecting member states from competition from other member states.

The EU requires telephone service providers to factor in that they shall not charge for roaming. After that the providers price their services as they like - the EU does not dictate any part of the pricing, just what the service must include in the price. It's like saying that a flight ticket must include check-in in the price (cf Ryanair).
