Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Willingness to look for separate international roaming (IR) services is low.It is shaped mainly by IR price knowledge and positive IR price expectations.Combining theoretical lenses facilitates understanding of use intention drivers.Consumers have to be educated regarding the benefits of unbundled IR services. International roaming (IR) makes it possible to conveniently use mobile communication services (MCS) such as voice calling, text messaging and Internet access abroad without the hassle to switch providers, devices or SIM cards. In order to support a competitive intra-European Union (EU) market for IR services, consumers re enabled to buy IR services separate from their existing domestic MCS as of July 2014. Therefore, an understanding of determinants of residential customers' willingness to look for separate IR services is of interest both for regulators and providers. Based on a review of three theoretical lenses (innovation adoption, service provider switching, consumer information search) the present study develops nine hypotheses on the level and on determinants of consumers' willingness to look for separate IR services. The hypotheses are tested in a sample of 510 German-speaking MCS users. PLS analysis reveals that the constructs associated most strongly with the willingness criterion are IR price knowledge, expected risks of separated IR services (e.g., low savings, inaccurate bills) and expected ease of switching to unbundled IR offerings. Implications of the findings are reflected for the theoretical framings, regulators, firms entering the market for unbundled IR services and established mobile network operators defending their IR business.
