High costs not necessarily equal to high revenue
Generally though it seems operators think that way, both when it comes to mobile data and in the case of 'EU setback for mobile phone industry', roaming fees.
If it's too darn expensive without obvious added value or with good alternatives people won't use it. In the case of international calls the need is obviously there, but increasingly people use Skype and similar for that. With a reasonable cost for international mobile calls people will also use it more.
If some middlemen disappear in the process, so be it. There's no industry that is exempt from the risk of extinction.
