"The most important aspect of pricing for consumers is knowing their total price rather than an advertised price that comes with hidden fees: 88% of respondents believe all fees should be included in advertised pricing."

The European Commission stated that Slovakia's decision to charge foreign drivers more for diesel is highly discriminatory and against EU law, emphasizing that measures must not discriminate between nationality.

Sky broadband customers are set for a £36 annual bill increase from 1 April, unless they leave their contract early. You can do this without paying early termination fees, because Sky doesn't lay out its pricing upfront. Under Ofcom rules, this gives you the right to leave penalty-free.

The goal of the new USTelecom program is to show consumers, businesses, civic leaders, and policymakers why maintaining legacy copper for the small portion of end users is not an efficient approach. A key part of this is explaining why modern technology is better.

Consumers are not passively renewing mobile plans. They are actively evaluating them, comparing value, scrutinizing pricing, and reassessing providers more frequently. Mobile is evolving from a static utility into a dynamic service relationship, and the next era will belong to those who reduce complexity, communicate transparently, and activate seamlessly.

The groups complain about "the increasing concentration of power and lack of alternatives in digital markets, the push for deregulation, and the urgent need to enforce digital laws to protect our fundamental rights and create a level playing field for competition and innovation."

Step 1 Building a content framework with actual, useful content Not to bang a familiar Earnest drum, but these days far too much content doesn't have any actual... content. So for Vodafone we concentrated on creating an integrated digital campaign built on a foundation of engaging and useful information that demonstrated Vodafone's grasp of the issues facing executives today. This earned Vodafone executive attention and allowed them to build relationships based on real empathy.

It will look to assess the impact of factors affecting investment in high-quality connectivity by 2030, identify actions to support the sector to achieve government objectives over the next decade, and assess how the regulatory framework can be improved to support investment, innovation and competition. As part of this, the government is announcing an action plan based on four key principles: drive investment in comprehensive, high-quality connectivity by 2030; deliver for consumers; support innovation and growth across the economy; and provide secure and resilient connectivity.

Do owners of patents for which licensing declarations have been made enjoy more rights than other patent holders? Do such licensing declarations impose obligations on potential licensees rather than on patent holders? Should prospective licensees have no right to challenge such patents? In another responsive article, that is what one commentator claims our series of articles on IPWatchdog asserted, although we never wrote or suggested anything of the sort.

The UK government claims a new Telecoms Consumer Charter will stop customers being hit by unexpected bill increases and offer clearer pricing when signing up to deals. Britain's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) says major telco providers - BT, Virgin Media O2 (VMO2), the newly conjoined VodafoneThree, Sky, and TalkTalk - have signed up to new commitments under the charter. The charter, however, appears to be nothing more than a voluntary code of conduct with no legal enforcement.

EE said the messages were sent via RCS, a more advanced type of messaging than SMS, and it is unable to block them (unlike SMS, which it can). EE said it was working with Apple and Google on the problem. Vodafone said its customers were mostly not receiving the texts (labelled as coming from Vodafone) because RCS is not enabled by the carrier on iPhones. However, people on other networks are receiving them.

The mass roll-out of fibre networks is seen as the key to the expansion of digital services across major economies, but research from Kearney is warning that a €174bn funding shortfall facing Europe's telecoms sector is putting 2030 gigabit and 5G connectivity targets at risk, meaning around 45 million Europeans could remain without adequate high-speed connectivity by the end of the decade.

Its model offered consumers access to all of Setapp's mobile apps through a $9.99 monthly subscription, provided the user's Apple ID was associated with an EU member state. Now, the company says all applications will be removed from Setapp Mobile by the end of the sunset date, February 16, 2026. Applications that are available on Setapp Desktop will not be affected, the company told TechCrunch.

It's the Workcation Visa loophole, a gray zone hidden within Europe's short-stay visa framework. It's not an official document, but a subtle legal workaround that allows remote professionals to live and work in Europe for months without technically working in Europe. It's the kind of thing travel consultants whisper about, expats use quietly, and immigration lawyers don't exactly advertise. Here's how it works and why European governments aren't eager to promote it.
