Roaming fees a drag on development

ON SATURDAY, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology said it was canceling roaming fees for mobile phones in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province, to support their integration. On Tuesday, one of the three State-owned telecommunication companies said it had already canceled its roaming charges, while the other two said they were ready to do so and were just waiting for the ministry's final notice. Comments:

Hopefully, the roaming fees collected after Saturday will be refunded to customers after the telecommunication companies receive the ministry's final notice. If not, it will harm the credibility of the State-owned enterprises and the government.
