Literal eu law that says they can't charge roaming?

Roaming not but there might not be the same price and package somehwere Else in the EU..

But why an App & not a PWA ?

They don't charge roaming, but they are allowed to sell limited-data plans. Those plans are also limited abroad. This is okay.

Sure you can get unlimited plans but they axe extremely expensive and not worth it for normal people. I don't stream terabytes on my phone. I use my unlimited home DSL for that.

. Anything it does has to go through a long process involving multiple oversight comittees, the commission, the parliament etc. It really doesn’t have the option for much secrecy.

Oh my sweet summer child.

When a German MEP Patrick Breyer asked the EU to release the names of the people who were a part of the so called High Level Group that wrote this proposal, they replied with a list with all names blacked out. Here is Patrick Breyer’s own blog post on the subject.

According to Edri ”The HLG has kept its work sessions closed, by strictly controlling which stakeholders got invited and effectively shutting down civil society participation.”.

1. Not everybody in the EU is living in the EU.
2. I didn't mention roaming. Not everybody has the same unlimited data for cheap package
3. From my understanding, the no-roaming charge law is being ignored pretty widely, in spirit if not in letter (different quota if at home vs roaming).

What the others said. If you want a practical example of this working, have a look at eduroam. It's the joint WiFi of all European universities and I cannot recall that there ever were any privacy issues.

most having infinite data

That's a bold claim. Do you have some official figures to back that up?
Where I live, I don't know of anyone with truly unlimited mobile internet.

The cheaper unlimited tariffs cost around €30, but have at least one of the following restrictions:

• Speed limit after x volume used
• Poor network coverage
• <15MBit/s speed
• Significantly increased costs after 2 years of contract term
• Cancellation by provider if consumption is too high
• only a few Gb at full speed included in EU roaming

Genuine unlimited contracts with stable network coverage and 300 Mbit/s usually cost around €80-100 per month here. And unlimited EU roaming is still not included by default.

Not charging roaming does not mean that your unlimited plan carries over abroad. It just means you can't be charged more for using your plan abroad.

It is still legal and widely done to have different limits abroad vs domestic.

Just because you have the option and can afford it does not mean every european citizen can have it or afford it.

EU policies aren't just for the privileged.

As always, it's not like both aren't possible. As a matter of fact, there is a lot of railway projects ongoing at the same time, to only quote one of your examples.

A government can take care of more than one issue at a time, luckily.

It may be a small benefit for you (I assume you are german based on your server), but not every european country or citizen has the same access to internet. This is a good initiative, but obviously not primarily intended for the richer citizens/countries of the union.

If Hule wants to make cheapskate Romanian sounds he's allowed to. It's his goddamn choice whether he wants to be a cheapskate or not.

Here in France we have "Free" (which is not free, costs 20€/month) which is not unlimited but something like 250GB/month last time I looked, and frequently increasing. I never ran out of data.

Why not both?

Limiting the bandwidth use of individual devices is pretty easy, and basically standard procedure for public networks. Even cheap consumer routers that come with ISP subscriptions can do that.

Ehhh... I would maybe cancel the data part of my plan, but I dunno how comfortable I would be relying on notoriously spotty and insecure public Wi-Fi services to make or receive phone calls.

They tried to push it to the point of stripping encryption from internet altogether and when that didn't work they tried demanding chat apps to be able to scan people messages before they send them. Maybe I'm confusing multiple entirely different things here, but I kinda heard that mostly with the abbreviation DSA flying around so I assumed it was sorta umbrella for all those things.

You don't have to trust them any more than you trust your local Starbucks WiFi

I don't really trust that either

How do we know intelligence agencies are not in collusion with certificate authorities though? What if they actually have access to ROOT CA private keys and can just automatically strip https from most of the traffic in their mass surveillance software? This is something I found with a very quick search: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigiNotar

In my case, it'd be fine. I already mainly use data for phone calls, and I also have 2 phones, one of which is work-provided, so I'll still have communications...
