        　　China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) and National Development and
Reform Commission (NDRC) jointly announced the country's mobile roaming service
charges would be lowered starting from March 1.
        　　Mobile phone users would be charged 0.6 yuan (about 8 US cents) per minute
for making calls outside the local service area, and 0.4 yuan, or about 5 cents,
per minute for receiving calls when they travel to another province, according
to the new plan.
