Anybody who has travelled overseas and used their mobile phone
knows how useful it can be to reach loved ones and conduct
business using
international mobile roaming. They also know the significant
cost they pay for this privilege. The House of Representatives
Communications
Committee is inquiring into whether international mobile roaming
charges are fair. ATUG are holding a series of forums
to share opinions and experiences
in preparation for ATUG's submission to the Communications
Committee, due on the 15th of August.
ATUG wants to let everyone know the opportunity is NOW to get
these preposterous rates down.
Around the world other Governments have tackled this issue head
on – it’s time that this happened in Australia.
The forums are open for all to attend and will focus on:
• Use of international roaming services – voice
and data
• Prices experienced for voice and data
•
Use of alternate services – phone cards, local SIM, Skype
• Accessing information on prices
• Worst experience
• Best experience
• What can users do?
• What should industry do?
• What should government/regulators do?
When: Tuesday,
July 15, 4:30pm to 6:30pm
Where: The Naval and Military Club, 27 Little
Collins Street, Melbourne
RSVP: patrick.sinclair@atug.org.au
Cost: Free
