New Rules Ensure Mobile Phone Coverage At Sea
Business & Finance - Technology
Being at sea should no longer mean that you can't use your mobile phone.
Earlier today the EU Commission announced that it was harmonising the technical and legal conditions for on-board mobile phone usage. This decision also means that future applications like remote tracking of freight will become possible.
EU Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes said, "Tens of millions of people who travel and work on ships anywhere in European territorial waters will be able to use their mobile phones without problems of interference as a result of the new rules just adopted by the Commission".
The new rules should put an end to the patchwork of twenty seven different sets of national legislation on mobile phone coverage on cruise liners, cargo ships and ferries in European territorial waters.
