Raising charges to cover reducing the price of roaming will only reveal the true cost of UK mobile ownership. If prices initially rise, so be it, consumers would then be aware of and be able to make direct comparisons with foreign competitor's charges which are almost without exception lower when taken as a whole package.
This could be a solid basis for the watchdog to justify biting off big chunks of UK corporate excess!
I don't think the telcos will have the bottle to carry out this threat, they know that laying their true charges on the table would only be detrimental to them in the long term.
