Future of Roaming in the European Union

Finally, after many negotiations in the Euro Chamber, June 15, 2017 has been chosen as the date on which roaming will be eliminated within the European Union. From this date the cost of calling or surfing the internet will be the same within EU countries as in Spain. Although it is true that the operators will make a progressive change in rates until this date.

Roaming costs will have a maximum cost of 5 cents per MB from 2016.roaming union europeaThe Council introduced some concessions to give operators more room to have more flexibility when it comes to providing services within their networks, in any case the companies will have to guarantee the general quality of internet access without any type of condition.

The onboard equipment offered by Azimut is capable of discriminating the EU zone from the rest of the neighboring countries that are not (for example, Switzerland or Andorra). Thus, we can limit the teams to only connect within the European Union. Keep in mind that roaming charges in countries outside the EU have very high costs, for example the average cost of browsing in Switzerland is €0.20 per MB.

Until next June 15, 2017 we will have to continue controlling roaming traffic in countries of the Union. At Azimut Bus Solutions we have tools to limit consumption, giving passengers a reasonable quality of service.
