Ok, good luck with that.
Cheers, I think you said something similar about “wage increases” post brexit so pardon me for saying I don’t think your the best barometer.

Exactly, they haven't slightly reduced the charging plans now they removed roaming. Private business seeking an opportunity to make more money. All you can do is is find a tariff that suits you best it do roam and another tariff if you don't.On the same logic 'free' shopping bags in the past was paid for via the grocery shop, then UK mobile phone networks have not been subsidising 'free' roaming in Europe. The cost has simply been paid for by users within phone plans without being a separate cost pursuant to EU law. So charging for roaming now is just easy money
I think he meant that point 4 was our issue in Parliament/Government. The EU themselves didn’t actually have anything to do with that.
Also, I’ve asked before, but who are these “elites” people keep taking about?
Ditto - you will probably be wanting utility firms to be forced to provide free services next or maybe free broadband for us all
Very Interesting article in the FT. Have cut & paste it so can read and is worth to read. I know some cannot always see the content in an FT link.....
The take away line for me .....
"It seems that the best way to improve lives in the UK, according to the government, is not to take back control."
Or search on
Brexit has become an exercise in quiet damage limitation
Indeed it has. A complete and utter farce, but then we of course are not surprised.
Watched the Tory MP on Newsnight last night embarrassing himself over the new delays as well. It's a desperate scramble to keep blaming the EU and pretending Brexit is anything else but damage limitation now. Whilst this government is in charge anyway.
Yes that was toe curling. I often wish I had a quick record thing for those sort of discussions/interviews so that you could paste some of those things to the thread ..... it is very enlightening.
He couldn't form his words it was that unbelievable.
Same for some of the clips they have on Ian King on Sky .... they are not always put on the web site but very interesting.
Remind me why it is we should be subsidising your free cash withdrawals?
Here it is in all it's "glory"
Just another drone who doesn't understand the deal we signed either.
Bob is a builder.When I say elites I mean powerful people often in powerful positions who's voice can be heard wider and more loudly. Generally higher educated types in Politics, Media (TV, Print, Online), Education, Senior Religious Leaders, Funded Activists, Lawyers... Not Brenda who works at the Co-op or Bob the welder or 90% of the people in this country.
Remind me where I said cash withdrawals should be free.
From memory I simply gave an explanation as to why the majority use CM’s and the minority use roaming etc.
However, I have no issue at all about making charges for ATM use.
In respect of Cash Machines, I think 90% of customers use Cash Machines 90% of the time.
I don’t have figures for International ETF’s / Roaming but would imagine usage is significantly less and same for roaming (once a year during a 2 week holiday)
Point being it seams reasonable to offer a service that is free at point of use when so many use it but, not to offer services free a point of use when only the few use them.
This isn't good news
How do you feel about Universal Service Obligation - USO? People who don't benefit from that directly, contribute (pay).Although at worst the likely benefit is that all users will now see a slow down in phone plan cost increases due to the extra revenue.
At best the extra revenue allows the phone companies the financial leverage to make phone plan costs more competitive.
Upshot being that those who did not use roaming but were paying for it will save money and those who benefited from free roaming will now have to pay for what they use

How about Hutchison/Three merging with O2 being prevented?
Is there a place for regulation in the Telco market, or are you a full "free marketeer"?
Awesome. I’m sure those 1m vacancies, when we have essentially full employment in the U.K., will be snapped up,
Although, I don’t actually remember saying we wouldn’t see “wage increases”, but I’m sure you can quote me.
Thanks, so would you not put our own Eton-educated, former/current newspaper columnist in that same bracket?
And best reply on that thread ofc goes to:Ha .... you clever you are
Is that not straw man when considered against the point that was being made
If you telling me you did not say “no hope at all the wages will increase” why would I disagree
