Manx users left out of EU ban
The Chief Minister says negotiations are ongoing to reduce roaming charges for Manx mobile users.
It comes ahead of an EU-wide blanket ban on the fees coming into force this Thursday (15 June).
As a non-member state, Island subscribers will still be liable to pay while using their phones abroad.
But many European networks - including Vodafone, EE and O2 - will allow theirs to roam for free when they're in the Isle of Man.
Speaking in the House of Keys this morning, Howard Quayle told members the Island's two operators were effectively at the mercy of bigger carriers:
Higher taxi tariff now in force from 11pm
Braddan Commissioner 'refutes' allegations of misrepresenting Roundhouse access issues
Douglas man accused of causing death by dangerous driving committed
Southern Amenity Site changes disposal policy for residents to six bags a month
Island's economy 'not in the same context' it was 18 months ago
Inmate 'likely died hours before being found'
