EU regulator threatens to go public with cellphone companies' fees

The European telecommunications regulator plans to name and shame operators that do not cut prices for roaming text messaging and wholesale data transmission by July 1. The IHT reports.

"I will look at all the tariffs available and put them on a Web site," the regulator, Viviane Reding, said Thursday in Paris. "That way, people will be able to see which ones have not lowered their prices."

Reding, the EU telecommunications commissioner, said she would submit regulation that could come into effect as early as the end of this year to ensure operators heeded her demands."
