The reason for this ridiculous prices is quite simple: cellular networks just weren't designed with data roaming in mind.

If you use data roaming, traffic from your device goes back to your home operator and only after that to Internet. I don't know if any significant changes were made in Rel-8 (Rel-10?), but for now that's how it works.
