Nah, they understand. They common trend on this site and a few other techy sites I frequent is the same, something for nothing. If a megacorp is making money it can surely stand to not make so much.

The very reasons to maintain some form of roaming charges comes down to, who built the towers? Who invested in the hardware, software, and persons, working to provide the service? I do not care one wit about this claim "public resources" when it comes to cell phones? Why not? Because it is a patent excuse to take. The same excuse is used when people want specific speech censored from the airwaves but not another. However, hell and high water reign should the same taking be done to something techies hold near and dear to their hearts, you would never see them support taking of speech rights or such with regards to their blogs, sites, and whatnot.

Back to roaming charges. Should we not then force nation states to not charge access fees to their networks? Many do. They charge carriers for calls going into their state owned agencies.

Simply put, don't allow roaming charges and costs will be spread to anyone using a cell phone, whether they roam or not. You cannot legislate away costs, you certainly can profit, but I guess the private investor should have known better. Kind of like government bonds, they are only really guaranteed the day they are written
