She has asked that carriers police themselves which is an obvious mistake and has "threatened" to enact this by next summer. It will not affect American and Canadian customers traveling to Europe (largest group of visitors) as it is only being enacted to protect EU citizens. I personally would rather Commissioner Redding take the carriers to task on in country pricing. I pay 33c euro per minute for a local call and thats part of a bucket plan.
