European Union mobile roaming costs for consumers, and therefore revenue for mobile service providers, will fall seven percent in 2017, but 28 percent within the EU, when mobile operators will be unable to charge any premiums currently for international calls, text and data while roaming within the EU.
Because of EU rules to ban roaming charges, retail price reductions for calls, texting and mobile data have fallen 80 percent since 2007.
Data roaming is now up to 91 percent cheaper than in 2007, but mobile data usage has grown by 630 percent.
Global mobile roaming revenues will generate about $52 billion in 2017.
