UK MPs call for roaming, fines to improve mobile coverage
2016-10-31 09:11:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) A group of UK MPs has published a report calling on the government to do more to end mobile 'not spots' in the country. Their report calls for measures such as fines for operators not meeting coverage targets and national roaming to improve coverage for end-users. The report by the 'British Infrastructure Group' of MPs found that a third of mobile users, or 17 million people, across the UK report poor or no reception at home, while as many as 28 percent of rural spots in the country also lack coverage. The MPs want the government to request information from mobile operators by December on what they are doing to ensure a promise that the UK has at least 90 percent geographic voice coverage by 2017.

EU members reach compromise on wholesale roaming caps
2016-10-26 16:10:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) EU member states have reached a compromise on new wholesale roaming price caps. A spokesman for the Slovakian presidency of the EU told Reuters that the Coreper meeting of EU state representatives agreed to a glide path in the rates. The cost of data roaming to operators would be capped at 1 eurocent per MB from June 2017 when retail charges will end, above the level of 0.85 cents proposed by the European Commission. The rate would gradually fall to 0.5 cents, the rate supported by many MEPs, by June 2021 under the compromise proposal.
