Paying the same rate at home as abroad is huge. I don't think I have ever experienced throttling but roaming charges make your phone almost entirely useless few kilometres beyond the border. You have to switch SIM cards, or chase WiFi. And the new regulation will include data[1].
One thing that worries me is what this means for small, local providers who often have great rates but are not backed by any of the EU-wide groups (Orange, T-Mobile).
