TELECOM ITALIA CUTS MOBILE AND PC CARD INTERNET ACCESS CHARGES ANYWHERE IN EUROPE BY 50%

Telecom Italia Mobile Leads again. All Mobile Data rates have been slashed by 50%.

TIM mobile Internet access will cost  0.8 euro cents per kilobyte anywhere in Europe

Telecom Italia has cut the data-roaming charges in Europe by over 50%, in keeping with the directives of the European Commission.

 Data roaming in Europe using a TIM mobile device or PC Card will cost just 0.8 euro cents per kilobyte (VAT included), comparable to the cost of data traffic in Italy , giving customers clearer information about their telephone costs when abroad.

 

With this initiative, Telecom Italia is the first to introduce transparent rules that allow the user to navigate for the same price anywhere in Europe (0.8 euro cents per kilobyte) in WEB or WAP mode and regardless of the operator network chosen. 

The new charges for consumer data roaming traffic expands the already large TIM offer of data roaming, adding to the “Daily Data Europe” offer, available since November 2007 and catering to Business customers. The offer includes €12 (plus VAT) up to 30 megabyte of data traffic per day (€10, plus VAT, in the promotion valid until 29 June 2008).

What we think?

TIM leads again. I am in France now and have been told its an average of EUR 0.28 to roam on data that is just under EUR 18 per hour. That is terrible.

TIM - BRAVA.
