The problem with these sorts of legislature as I&#x27;ve experienced is that while the theory seems quite appealing it never really works as you would expect.<p>Canada did a similar thing a couple years ago. The CRTC imposed a law where an individual could only incur a maximum of $50 in data overage charges locally, and $100 when roaming.<p>I was ecstatic when this was announced. And then one month I went over on data by $50. And then my data was cut off until I bought a &quot;pack&quot;.<p>So yes, your phone bill will be unsurprising at the end of the month, but now your carrier will expect you to purchase a bucket of &quot;roaming data&quot; in the form of an add-on or package to your regular phone plan so that you can post your selfies with the Eiffel Tower in real time.
