Figure 13 provides a summary of the measured price disparities among the
aforementioned (and analysed) markets. The differential between Euro and Non-Euro
Tariffs, intended as voice, SMS and data, might be interpreted as favourable evidence of a
positive impact of the Regulation 544/2009, as tariffs subjected to the regulation show
less disparities among Member States than those not under EU regulation. Nevertheless,
much still has to be done. Even in “Euro” markets, price disparities remain huge, up to
1069% in MTRs (including outliers) or up to 933% in the data retail market (no outliers).
SMS retail and wholesale markets constitute positive exceptions, indicating a price
disparities ratio equal to 138% and 136% respectively.
