 STRASBOURG, France (AP) - For years, Europeans have enjoyed low-cost flights that have revolutionized travel across the continent. Now they will be able to make a cheap mobile phone call home to say they made it.
But while bargain flights are a result of a well-functioning, competitive market, the roaming fees mobile operators add to the cost of a call made or received abroad will be regulated by the EU amid complaints that the system hasn't worked.
EU lawmakers overwhelmingly endorsed a deal Wednesday to cap roaming fees in the 27-nation bloc, slashing the phone bills of millions of executives and holidaymakers.
