Great to see the Daily Express front page praising an EU initiative, even if it doesn’t recognise it as such – “Cheap phone calls for all”, 16 March 2011. The OFCOM measures are in response to a European Commission decision in May 2009 requiring all EU countries, including the UK, to ensure mobile termination rates are reduced so as to reflect the costs of making a connection with other networks. An undisputed benefit for consumers in the UK and in the rest of the EU.
