Ever being slapped with an insanely high input roaming bill simply considering you forgot to turn off the option to access details when you were abroad? Such expensive mistakes could be a thing of the past whether the European Union has their way, with a bunch of regulators stepping in to impose new restrictions that will help users cap their monthly wireless documents bills. From July 1, 2010 onwards, mobile broadband users in Europe are forced to choose a maximum monthly cost they want to pay for mobile documents. Whenever they reach near to 80% of that total, one will receive a warning from the carrier followed by a temporary suspension when the spending cap is reached. whether you decide to bury your head in the sand and do nothing about it, thereupon you will automatically be given a $68 monthly limit (for input only). So much for being responsible adults, eh? We still need Big Brother to prevent us from going overboard in our spending.
