EU scraps time limit on free mobile roaming plan
Brussels
THE EU on Wednesday scrapped a 90-day limit to its landmark free mobile phone roaming policy, promising checks to curb abuse after the initial plan ran into fierce criticism.
"We will not put any kind of limits on duration or how many days (travellers) can enjoy no roaming surcharges, but we decided to put some clear safeguards on residency," EU commissioner for the digital single market Andrus Ansip said at a news briefing.
