Ireland puts roaming proposal to EU leaders

Ireland has put a proposal to the meeting of EU leaders in Brussels, calling for the cost of mobile phones made abroad to be cut or even scrapped, reports Ireland Online.

"...The Irish proposal lends support to the European Commission's expected announcement next week of an outline regulation to bring down roaming charges, seen as a money-spinner for mobile phone companies but a bane for business travellers and tourists."
