The European Commission is expected to announce tomorrow that it will propose legislation to cut the cost of sending and receiving text messages while roaming, according to the IHT. On average, when sending a text in the EU, users paid €0.28 last month for a message, which represents an “insufficient drop” from the third quarter last year when it was €0.29 (US 50 cents). On June 30, European operators had to tell EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding know how much they were charging for roaming text messages and data downloads. Since then, it has been determined the prices were too high, but legislation against other data charges, like Internet access, isn’t expected.
