T-Mobile USA, new plan offers 500MB of data at full speed within 28 European countries.

There is grate news that T-Mobile USA unveiled its new “Open Europe” unlimited data plan for business customers. They are offering priced at $50 per month, this new plan offers 500MB of data at full speed within 28 European countries without international roaming charges.

It’s good sound and to see a major carrier offer unlimited data abroad, but reading between the lines, we assume that once customers exceed 500MB of data, their connection will be throttled. However, we’re still willing to bet that this setup beats out expensive international roaming charges.

Here is a short briefing of press release:

According to the Global Business Travel Association, American business travelers are expected to take 437.9 million trips costing approximately $265.5 billion by the end of this year. International outbound travel will continue to drastically outpace domestic travel. GBTA expects U.S.-initiated international business trips is expected to hit 6.8 million trips in 20122. With this kind of expected business travel and with data usage on the rise, CIOs and decision makers are looking to address the challenges of international mobility. At the top of this list is reducing or controlling the high costs associated with international data roaming.

“Of the millions of international trips U.S. business travelers make each year, a significant portion are made to European countries,” said Frank Sickinger, vice president, business sales at T-Mobile USA. “For these customers, our new T-Mobile Open Europe data feature dramatically reduces costly international data roaming tolls, controls the risk of data roaming ‘bill shock’, and provides data connectivity required to conduct business from London to Moscow – all for a predictable $50 monthly fee.”
