Kudos for your work, but how is a regular mortal supposed to use mobile internet in EU? EU managed to limit voice charges somehow, and to force micro USB connectors on all new smartphones sold since 2010, so it's about time. I'm quite picky, too, and manage to use a single prepaid SIM for about 10 USD/month (total, with cheap voice and 20MB free internet, which is enough for twitter and google maps). But why does it only work in a single EU country (Poland)? /Andrzej, Poland This post should be sent to our dear EU council or whoever is in charge of defending EU customers against the greedy telecoms.
