It is the type of thing a politician gets irritated too by and it isn't really controversial from the voters point of view, so it gets done.

In the EU the politicians at EU level pushed through max roaming charges for SMS messages, whilst leaving data roaming rates ludicrously high. My take on it was that the politicians weren't using data so they only dealt with what was painful for them on an individual level.
