Strong increase in internet usage abroad

amsterdam - The European Internet traffic on the smartphone has taken a massive flight in the past one and a half months. That is what the NOS reports on the basis of figures from the Amsterdam Internet Exchange.

With new EU rules, users almost do not need to pay extra costs for roaming abroad, and they can facebook and whatsapple to heartfelt. Part of international data traffic is via Amsterdam. This summer it is definitely 2.5 times faster than last summer around this time.

On June 15, the roaming rules were abolished. That has long been a great wish for European consumer organizations.
