IMHO it clearly follows from what you say that international SIMs are not as attractive to business users as they might be just because of some stupid regulations and/or people :P. So, if EU/national governments forced lowering "regular" roaming rates, it would be useful anyway for the business world (somehow like reducing some taxes....) and bean counters would have just less beans to count
BTW, how did bean counters count non-mobile telecommunications services?
Do they accept billings from hotel phones only? How about using payphones or calling cards?
