    It's been announced that O2 IRL are to drop roaming charges to Northern
    Ireland as well as for business accounts for roaming in the UK. I wonder
    if O2 UK will do likewise.

    It could and it wouldn't cost it much. The reason given for the one-way
    arrangement was that the UK represented the RoI's biggest export market.

    I would much prefer to see such arrangements with mainstream EU markets
    such as Germany, France, Spain and Poland.

    That's what the European Commission want to see. They want roaming
    charges brought down to the same as cross-network calls at present -

    The EC have discussed this and threatened action on a number of
    occasions. However they would probably have difficulty making the
    change without new legislation and it is unlikely to be accepted by some
    states - who probably see the figures improving their balance of payments.
