Right...
from my experience, the worst place that I remember apart from Basel and Trieste is the Austrian/Swiss border in the zone between Liechtenstein and the BodenSee (Lustenau/Widnau/St.Margarethen).

I remember that a manual network selection showed me:
(swiss operators)
-Swisscom
-Orange
-sunrise
(austrian operators)
-A1
-one
-T-mobile A
-tele.ring
(nearby-Liectenstein networks)
-FL1
-Tele2
(nearby-german networks, probably only echoes from the lake)
-Vodafone D2
-T-mobile D1
-E-plus

I think 12 GSM networks are enough... and maybe I didn't pick up all of them.

Anyway, I really think it's time for a change in the roaming charge trend in Europe.
Many operators have established networks in different countries, making economies of scale thanks to the single-brand policy: why shouldn't customers benefit of this?
