The situation was the similar in the US until a few years ago. In the early '90s, if I left my home county I'd be roaming. The home regions got bigger and bigger until most plans became nationwide, even if you are roaming another carrier. For a time, there were even plans that included Canada. (Not sure if they are still available or not.) While EU is not (yet) a single nation, with a single (for the most part) currency and no border formalities, I suspect what is really needed is consumer demand and one carrier who's a little braver than the pack.
