Watchdogs back EU move to cut mobile phone fees

Telecoms watchdogs are backing European Union moves to make it cheaper for people to use their mobile phones abroad, a top industry regulator said on Thursday, reports Reuters.

"Kip Meek, Chairman of the European Regulators Group, said another key challenge will be to analyze the impact of Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VOIP), which allows people to make calls over the Web for a nominal cost.

"It's a disruptive technology. It's a wonderful thing, but it raises regulatory issues that need to be addressed," he said."
