From July 1, each downloaded megabyte of data will cost a maximum of 70 eurocents and that rate will fall to 45 cents a year later, and to 20 cents on July 1 2014. A one-minute call will cost no more than 29 cents from this year, falling to 29 cents in 2014. The current cap is 35 cents.

    Indeed. £200/GB is still extortionate compared to the typical price of £10/GB for usage in the UK. The networks should be forced to quote data roaming prices per gigabyte, which would put the problem into perspective.

    It's still a rip-off but it's nearer to £150 than £200.

    Other than 3 all the networks now have data roaming bundles anyway.
