<p>The price point is set at <strong>99€</strong>, then for around 13€ per month you&#8217;ll get unlimited data to send and receive your emails.</p>
<p>This could be a serious threat to <strong>BlackBerry </strong>prosumer users, which have bought their BlackBerries just for the email functionality and now have a real alternative, less expensive and available everywhere around Europe without lengthy binding contracts.</p>
<p>At the same time, offering data roaming connection for a bunch of euros per month <strong>disrupts the current roaming market</strong>, nowadays hardly accessible to consumers and small businesses that can easily spend hundreds of euros over a weekend abroad.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait to learn more about this!</p>
