I can only imagine how many more stories like this will be hitting the press. Labour really sold out to have Blair running the show. I would expect such anti-consumer/pro-business actions from a Tory (or a Republican in the US) but to have the Labour party acting so harshly against consumers is revolting. I think "revolting" pretty much sums up Tony Blair though.
Britain lobbied against European Union plans to impose price caps on mobile phone roaming rates which were put into place earlier this year, The Times reported on Thursday.
Citing government e-mails and minutes of meetings it obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, the newspaper said that the British negotiator regularly communicated with Britain's major mobile phone networks to keep them abreast of developments, and to discuss Britain's stance on the proposals.
Fortunately consumers won the battle and mobile roaming charges have plummeted since a new law kicked in, despite the efforts of the Blair government.
