The spirit of the common market meant no tariffs like import or export duties, there was a case recently where a pub landlady was aiming her satellite dish at a service from Greece and her regulars were watching football at a much fairer rate than Sky was charging, Sky took her to court and lost.
The spirit of the common market means, Vodafone should not be able to charge me a different rate, when I am in another EC country.
In the UK, Vodafone charge me a flat fee of £1 for 24 hours, for using my phone on the internet, they are breaking EC laws by not using the same charging structure in all EC countries.
25 MB a day in my experience lasts hardly no time at all, once I start listening to radio 4 on the 'Net and uploading photos to my travel blog.
Most people who run businesses, wouldn't know the golden rule, from a piece of dog dirt on their shoe.
The only rule that the captains of industry seem to know in my experience, is to take as much as possible whilst giving as little as possible, because they only love money.
