Europeans this summer will enjoy more digital rights, following the end of roaming charges across the European Union last year, June 2017, and the possibility to travel with their online TV, film, sports, music or e-book subscriptions at no extra cost.
"Europeans are already starting to feel the benefits of the Digital Single Market. This summer you will be able to bring your favorite TV programmes and sports matches with you wherever you travel in the EU. By the end of this year, you will also be able to buy festival tickets or rent cars online from all over the EU without being geo-blocked or re-routed," said Andrus Ansip, Vice-President for the Digital Single Market.
Since April 2018, consumers can access online content services they have subscribed to in their home country also when traveling across the EU, including among other films, series, and sports broadcasts.
