THOUGHT: Can someone please lower the International Roaming Data fees?

While
I'm still not satisfied with the situation of mobile data fees, things got
better over the time. Either flat or payable volume plans are available now in
most countries but "UMTS-by-Call" is still too expensive anyway and if you plan
to use mobile data on your smartphone or Notebook, you better have a data plan
booked.
Nevertheless, as soon as you leave your country - which is quite usual here in
Europe - you leave your home network data plan on the border and if you are on a
foreign network abroad, it can cost you the right arm to use mobile data - most
likely it's even more expensive than your hotel room. Why I'm talking about it
now? Well, I'm currently in the final preparation for my trip to Barcelona where
the Mobile World Congress happens next week.
