Unlikely, if anything, the US carriers will double down on roaming fees. They tend to do whatever it takes to prevent becoming what the European carriers have become, just a line supplier.

I do not know, how the US carriers fare, but the "just line suppliers" of Europe and particularly of Germany are faring very, very well! They still make tons of money for sometimes lowest-level service.

Of course, when you have much, you still can fare better and make even more profits ...

Seems like the very existence of roaming fees indicates that the European carriers were behaving very much like US carriers.

Why would US carriers double down on roaming fees? I don't see how it's in any way related to this.
