自分用メモ
本日2度目の書き込み・・・。1度目の書き込みは思いっきり消えてしまった。ぐはぁ
ヨーロッパで新しいビジネスを始めるとき、自国の認可以外にEUの認可を受けなければいけない。日本とたとえると日本で言う都道府県がEU諸国内の国、日本国家がヨーロッパ連合といった感じ。
何かを始めるときはまず自分の県（国）で認可をもらい、国（EU）に別の県でのビジネスについて許可をもらうといった感じ。
まぁ、都道府県制より道州制の方が近いかもしれない。（日本での道州制議論はちょっと無茶言ってる部分が多いような気がするが・・・）
まぁ、今回の話は電話の通話料！電話で1時間先の所に電話かけるのに国際電話料金を払わなければいけないこのむなしさを解消してくれるようなニュース。
国際通話料がだいぶ下がりそうな予感。目標はディフォルトで1分間0.3ユーロ（各国のオペレーター間の支払い）
フランスからドイツに電話をかける時、フランスのキャリアーがドイツのキャリアーに1分0.3ユーロ支払う。 and its Vice Vasa!
これだけ下がれば通話料も下がる！安ければ身を削って（食費削って）電話費に当てなくても済む！お米が高くて買えないからパスタとごま油で食をつながなくて済む！うははーい。
でも、考えたらFring使えばいいんですよね。パケット定額で国際電話もかけ放題。すごいなーテクノロジー
ビバてくのろじー
IP電話で普通の電話にタダで電話がかけられたころ、南米のあの子に二人でがんばってタダ電話かけようとしたのだが、ネットが遅すぎてなぁ・・・。寝る時間削って電話しようとしたのだけれども「もしもし？聞こえる？もしもし？・・・」と延々に・・・・

EU approves roaming tariffs
Just in time for summer hols

The EU has given the thumbs up to the Euro tariff for mobile phone roaming.
Joachim Wuermeling, speaking on behalf of the German EU Presidency, said legislation should be in place by 29 June.
Click here to find out more!Commissioner for Information Society and Media Viviane Reding said that she wants to see it even sooner.
The proposal is that wholesale roaming rates (the amount operators charge each other) should be set at €0.30 per minute, but should then decrease by €0.02 every year for the three years of the agreement.
Outgoing calls, when roaming, will be set at €0.49 a minute, incoming at €0.24, with both dropping by €0.03 a year except for the first year when incoming calls will drop by only €0.02.
The GSM Association (GSMA), a trade body representing mobile operators, is unhappy with the decision, and has been fighting the proposal since February.
The GSMA sees self-regulation as the best way to ensure competitive pricing and has been trying to push the tariff as high as possible. It claims its members won’t be able to survive if outgoing calls are billed at less than €0.65 a minute.
So, the GSMA’s disdain at the introduction of a mandatory €0.49/minute roaming rate is no surprise, but its argument that customers can do better with current offerings from networks falls down, as customers are still able to select those offerings alongside the mandatory Euro tariff.
Arguments that it won’t be technically possible for the network operators to implement the Euro tariff might bear more weight, and operators have used this excuse on other occasions.
There is still formal approval by the Telecoms Council to come, on 7 June, but it seems unlikely that will present any barrier, or opportunity for the GSMA to delay or change the proposal. ®
