 A recent report by Australia's telecoms ombudsman revealed that roaming charges are still a major concern for customers. The study found that Australia was the seventh most costly country for roaming charges, behind Poland, Japan, Israel, Chile, Mexico, and Canada. Scientists have also developed camouflage makeup that can shield soldiers from thermal imaging, which could be used to protect firefighters from heat blasts. Additionally, a man identified as "David" had his phone stolen during a trip to Europe, leading to a large bill due to roaming charges.
