Hello,
at the end of 2009 the mobile operators have announced a lowering of the maximum cost of the SMS in Italy, the highest in Europe. As expected, these new rates do not even see the shadow.
But you can always get worse: not only, in fact, Italy will be among the countries at a cost of sending SMS to Europe's highest, but it can also boast that position in the ranking of costs for light use of Internet connectivity by phone.
Vodafone, in fact, from February 15 will force its customers to use a daily rate for data traffic, and not actually consumed in traffic, a minimum of € 1.5 per day. Attached the new plan.
The impression is this: Vodafone (but how long it takes for other players to adapt?) Is going to arbitrarily raise the conditions of use for non-intensive users of mobile Internet, violating net neutrality and creating a serious injury against a broad range of consumers. True, there are already flat rates, but why exclude the possibilities offered by all mobile users who connect daily, making a traffic light a few KB? From this choice would be penalized for any application, now widespread and common, which by mail and instant messaging services reaching navigation / mapping from mobile which do not require intensive use of the Internet mobile.
What do you think?
soon, Luigi Orsi Carbone
