"While the aim of this draft regulation – to reduce the price of mobile roaming services – is important, it glosses over issues of sovereignty, the economy and public health, which we would like to address. While having an initial positive impact by lowering the regulated price of roaming services, the realisation of an EU internal market in this area will mean supply concentration in some transnational monopolies in the sector. This will lead to many workers losing their jobs and price increases, as seen in the realisation of internal markets in other industries. Spectrum space is increasingly being monopolised by, committed to or reserved for commercial ends, with very few exceptions. Public space is dead, with an increasingly small number of private companies dominating this public asset and natural resource shared between countries. The spectrum is being filled but the environmental and public health impact of this occupation has not been properly assessed and rules have not been imposed, despite the warnings made by many studies. The urgency of expanding technical applications and their rapid commercialisation by monopolies in the sector is taking precedence over safeguarding public health, which may have disastrous consequences for citizens and the environment."@en1
