"And the other side of the coin is that also reported was that everyone's standard mobile costs will go up to pay for it. Still, that's only fair. So now we know why 16 Million voted remain. Although, tbh, mobile phone charges being the same across the EU was a big part of the positive side of the remain campaign." Amazing how the Remain campaign thought a silly little trinket like EU phone roaming charges could persuade people one way or the other. Frankly I couldn't care less about it. | |||

"A point of note is that it has taken the EU "several" years to get this agreement. " So it's crazy to think that some people expect us to be full extricated from the EU with a good deal, in less than 2 years. Look at domestic legislation such as allowing businesses and charities to chose their water suppliers rather than being geographically tied to one supplier. I think that took 4 years from the legislation being passed to the changes actually being made. It shows the complexity of making legislative changes and most people are underestimating the scale of the challenge when it comes to brexit. | |||

"this is clearly ace and very important .... it'll save me money on my communication overheads when i'm working .... plus i can stay in touch with my family more " Its cost me £1.50 a day for several years to access my contract prices while abroad, dont think many will benefit that much from this change especially if they put up all prices to compensate, of course if its work related then its an allowable expense anyway | |||

Several years to do a phone deal, nine years to do an EU-Canada trade deal....getting us out will take a decade at least. | |||

"But what they don't tell you is that you're data limit is capped at around half you're normal allowence They will get you one way or another " Got a text from EE this morning. Clearly stated that my full plan applies in 48 countries. It isn't an EU deal as such....though they have had a big hand in it (probably in slowing it down). The arrangement is between dozens of phone providers. It is a commercial decision as most smart folk just got an additional sim when travelling abroad and companies lost out. | |||

"They will also say thank you for saving our country from fascism. Thank god we still have our democracy. Freedom of speech. And thank you for saving our Army. Navy. Air force. Thank you for saving our judicial system From becoming a police state. " As a member country, it's still about democracy. Our elected representatives decide what changes we wish to pursue. If we vote in people who want inappropriate things for citizens or maybe just selectively like democratic principles according to their own whim, we create our own problem that our sovereign parliament and the electorate can deal with. All those mysterious fantasy plans don't occur without consensual involvement | |||

"Friend works for 02 and what ever happens nothing will change. It's popular with customers so no plans to change the rules. EE and Vodafone saying the same, it's business after all." Is your friend working high enough in o2 to actually know what decisions are being made because if they aren't they are unlikely to have much more idea than the general public. | |||

Brexit restores us to 1973, we're going back to red phone boxes and bakelite phones with rotary dials. Smart phones? Not even mobile phones! | |||

No, I was thinking more of The Enabling Act (Ermächtigungsgesetz) of 1933 that gave the German Cabinet power to enact laws without the involvement of the Reichstag and the Reichsrat. | |||
