Mobile Termination Rates

EDM number 229 in 2008-09, proposed by John Robertson on 10/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Consumers and Telecommunications.

That this House notes that mobile telephones remain a popular gift for Christmas time, with an estimated one million telephones waiting under the tree this year; but regrets that in spite of this popularity, fixed and mobile customers in the UK will be charged in excess of £3 billion in unnecessary call charges in 2009 due to mobile termination rates; and calls on Ofcom to take immediate action to lower these outdated and unnecessary charges so that consumers can get a better deal from their new mobiles this Christmas.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
