  1. >Today lawmakers are reupping the regulation that lets EU citizens “roam like at home” for a full decade, meaning European consumers can keep avoiding most extra fees when travelling within another of the 27 EU Member States (or the EEA) until at least 2032.

    >The updated regulation also brings some new additions — including a focus on quality of service, with a requirement that consumers have access to the same services abroad in the EU as at home when the same networks and technologies are available on the network in the visited Member State.

    >This means, for example, that a roaming customer who can use 5G services at home should also have 5G roaming services — where they are available — in the visited Member State.

  2. Currently roaming in Portugal as a Frenchman and I’m not even looking for the wifi points. Sounds petty but this is the kind of natural “no borders” move that you really enjoy once you’ve travelled far and had to wifi-hop.
