二、Telia丹麦分公司为用户提供5GB漫游数据流量 价格上调
Telia丹麦公司宣称该公司向所有国外用户提供5GB漫游数据流量（但不包括已经拥有5GB的Roam Like Home流量套餐的用户），但会上调价格，从每月10丹麦克朗到20丹麦克朗。此举符合6月15日欧盟取消欧盟漫游费的法规。Telia公司表示大多数用户已经购买了Roam Like Home套餐，所以这一改变不会造成用户订阅费的变动。
Telia公司表示该公司的90%用户每年都会使用手机登陆国外网站，所以该公司宁愿提高非Roam Like Home用户的套餐价格，而不会通过禁止国外用户订购的方法规避监管。同时，Telia公司声称无论用户是否使用Roam Like Home套餐，新法规都剥夺了客户的选择自由，并补充说明道价格上涨并不会使运营商变得富有。
Telia Denmark gives all users 5 GB roaming data, hikes price
Telia Denmark said it is providing all its subscriptions that do not already include Roam Like Home with 5 GB of internet to use in foreign countries, but it will be raising the price by DKK 10 to DKK 20 per month. This is in response to the EU’s abolition of EU roaming charges on 15 June. Telia said most subscribers are already on Roam Like Home and so will see no change to their subscription fee.
Telia said that 90 percent of its customers use their mobile phone on a foreign network every year, so it would rather raise prices for those not already on Roam Like Home than circumvent the regulations by offering domestic-only subscriptions. At the same time, it said the new rule takes away customers' freedom of choice as to whether or not to use Roam Like Home, adding that the price rise will not make the operator rich.
