(Telecompaper) A majority of mobile operators and MVNOs in the EU think it will not be possible to implement 'roam like at home' pricing under the current wholesale roaming regulations. Only 34 percent of MNOs and no MNVOs that responded to the European Commission's consultation on wholesale roaming said it would be possible to implement RLAH without a change to wholesale regulations. Just over half (53%) of all providers see a need for a change in regulation before the deadline of June 2017 to end all roaming surcharges in the EU. The consultation ended in February attracted responses from a majority of MNOs and independent MVNOs in the EU and Norway, the EC said in a detailed report summarising the comments. There was a clear split in opinions about the competitiveness of the roaming market, with larger operators with more inbound traffic tending to think it works under the current conditions, while smaller operators with more outbound traffic saying wholesale rates are too high to cover costs. A majority of the respondents want to the EU to continue with the wholesale roaming price caps, but operators are dividend on what the new prices should be.
