Yeah, no kidding. Consumer protections and regulations often seem to be a two-steps-forward, one-step-back kind of thing here. I've been doing okay with some travel hacks, such as using free 90-day T-Mobile data plan trials for my U.S. travel. But it's criminal what these companies can charge here. It's especially insulting when you look at countries with similarly low population densities like Australia or Sweden.
