My thoughts on this:
- Network mergers have already happened and seem to become more common, especially in joint markets like the EU. So this is not going to go away.
- The providers have explicitly decided to go for national roaming instead of handing out new SIM cards or creating a new, larger, joint network. In many cases existing customers can only get a replacement SIM for a fee.
- How is this intended to work correctly, and how do other platforms handle it? People are telling me that they can use national roaming between o2 and e-Plus here in Germany with their Android devices without even having to enable roaming at all. They just had to restart their phone once and after that if automagically worked. Apparently older Android version had a "Enable National Roaming" switch, but it was removed, so was the process automated, and if yes, how?
