Denmark and China have signed a bilateral agreement that will make it cheaper for Danes to use mobile phones when visiting China and vice-versa via lower roaming prices.
Danish and Chinese mobile phone companies will sign a similar co-operation deal that will bind them to negotiate lower prices.
"Today, it costs a Dane 400-1,200 kroner to stream a three-minute video on your cell phone using roaming in China," Henrik Sass Larsen, the business and growth minister, said in a press release.
"That's far too expensive so I am pleased that we have signed a co-operation agreement with the Chinese government to reduce roaming prices."

Larsen said the agreement will be of great assistance to the many Danish companies and citizens working and travelling in China, as well as the many Chinese tourists who visit Denmark every year.
The Danish telecommunication companies TDC, Telenor, Telia, TELEPOST and Føroya Tele have revealed they are prepared to negotiate an agreement, as are their Chinese counterparts China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicom.
Currently, it costs over 10 kroner per minute to call Denmark from China, while the data usage price can be over 100 kroner per megabyte. In comparison, the same actions cost under 2 kroner in the EU.
