Some good news...

"Blocking and throttling Internet traffic will become illegal in the European Union following a parliamentary vote on Thursday.Members of the European Parliament voted to close loopholes in a proposed law that some believed would have created a two-tier Internet."

Good news! Hopefully the US FCC will change the classification of Internet Service Providers to prevent throttling, preferential treatment and premium pricing.

Now if they would just have phone stores at International airports, so we can buy SIMS for that country, rather than needing to roam until we get to the city center and can find a pone store.

T-mobile rolled out some sort of all-inclusive service that is supposed to work in Europe, but I don't know the details. Global service would be nice~
