Published quarterly, the RTR Telekom Monitor details changes in the Austrian telecommunications markets. It is one of multiple data-based products published periodically by RTR’s Telecommunications and Postal Service Division. Others include the Internet Monitor, which, as the name suggests, describes internet-related developments, as well as the Roaming Monitor. Both the Telekom Monitor and the Internet Monitor appear quarterly, and the Roaming Monitor is published twice yearly. Austria roaming text messages

The coronavrus has already been overcome while surfing. Nine petabytes, or 9 million gigabytes, were consumed in other EU countries in 2021 in the summer months of July, August and September.
In summer 2020 it was 5.1 petabytes and in summer 2019 6.5 petabytes. The average data volume per holidaymaker (per SIM card actually used for roaming in the EU/EEA) rose to 857 megabytes – a new record and more than doubling since 2018.
Technical minutes that Austrian customers make calls in the EU/EEA area are counted as end customer roaming minutes. Active minutes are created when Austrian customers initiate calls in other EU/EEA countries. Passive minutes are incurred when customers in other EU/EEA countries are called.
