  Amid globally high international roaming rates and persistently high settlement costs in some countries, China Mobile's introduction of new 1-yuan/2-yuan/3-yuan zone roaming rates reflects an innovative pricing model for international roaming, serving as a positive reference for optimizing global international roaming rates.
