Although the mobile phone market is enjoying a prosperous season, transparency discussed within this sector does not seem to develop properly . The two industry Authority - Antitrust and Agcom - underline the entire Italian inconsistency regarding the price (too high) since July of SMS will cost no more than 11 cents in any European country. If one considers that currently the average cost in Europe to send a text message is 8 cents while Italy comes in at 12 cents, ironically from July Italians will cost less to send text messages in other European countries in our peninsula. The consultation launched by the competent authorities, highlights a number of other abnormalities occurred due to mobile operators that divide the market and does not seem to share the idea of \u200b\u200b"free competition in a free market."
In general, the sale of ringtones and logos as well as deals with the use of the Internet on mobile networks are not properly understood by the users that often find themselves buying products without understanding the cost, or even to activate services have no intention.
To those who happened to be seen delivering an exaggerated bill not mentioned by those who proposed to accept the offer of a contract by which would have included a next-generation mobile phone? How
periodically charged for services not requested, nor actually used on your phone?
Authorities point out to operators that the contractual conditions are often unattractive and may not reflect the criteria of transparency measures to protect users.
is not easy to understand the true costs and benefits of various offers, nor the actual price of some promised benefits, often disregarded: the authors propose operators to provide "block maxima of expenditure, so that, beyond a certain traffic can go and avoid thousands of euro bills that continue to cause more than actions, spread discontent among consumers and may not reflect the lines that track across Europe in mobile communications.
What remains for now as an appeal by the authorities, if breached, could take the form of formal obligations of the operators or fines.
As far as logos and ring tones, the call is even more heartfelt, given the young average age of users that often involves a certain naivety of that approach to buying if combined with "ambiguity" promotion and sales, may lead to something not far from the scam. The transparency of some questionable deals are under discussion: "The inquiry revealed the need, especially in light of the typology of the users of this content (and young teens), to introduce procedures to ensure transparency of contracts and especially awareness of the contract, often signed without a real desire by the consumer, "this is the warning Antitrust. "We must therefore put mechanisms in place to verify and possibly trace the actual acceptance by the completion of the contract. Also be introduced clear and simple procedures for decommissioning. "
