Kroes to urge ministers to free wireless broadband spectrum
European Commission Vice-President for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes will urge the EU's Council of Telecoms Ministers in Brussels on 3 December to boost internet access in Europe by agreeing to the EC's September Radio Spectrum Policy Programme proposal to make spectrum available for wireless broadband by 2013. Wireless broadband is essential to meet the commitments made in the Digital Agenda for Europe to give every European access to basic broadband by 2013 and fast and ultra-fast broadband by 2020. Kroes will also brief ministers on a forthcoming public consultation on roaming regulation and encourage the rapid adoption of the EC's proposal to expand and modernise the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). In addition she will underline the importance of implementing the broadband strategy presented by the EC in September and urge member states to support the first European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing.

EC launches consultation on roaming rules effect

The European Commission is seeking the views of consumers, businesses, telecom operators and public authorities on the EU mobile phone roaming market in a public consultation running until 11 February. The EU Roaming Regulation imposed a cap on retail prices for roamed voice calls and text messages within the EU, but there is still no competitive single market for roaming services.

EC's Kroes calls for roaming rates linked to national prices

Mobile calls and mobile internet should have the same maximum rates across the EU and high roaming charges should be relegated to the past, telecoms commissioner Neelie Kroes said during the ICT 2010 conference in Brussels.

Kroes: roamingtarieven op niveau binnenlandse tarieven

Mobiel bellen en mobiel internet moet in de hele EU aan gelijke maximum tarieven gebonden worden. Hoge kosten voor roaming (bellen buiten het land van de eigen operator) moeten tot het verleden behoren. Dat heeft Neelie Kroes, Europees Commissaris voor de Digitale Agenda, gezegd op ICT 2010 in Brussel. De vorige Europese Commissie heeft de roamingkosten voor mobiel bellen al aan een maximum gebonden en dacht al na over een vergelijkbare aanpak van roaming voor mobiel internet.
