Competition In The Mobile Telephone Industry

EDM number 305 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 23/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Competition and Telecommunications.

That this House supports proposals for a significant reduction in mobile termination rates (MTRs); is concerned that an artificial floor on the cost of mobile telephone calls distorts competition in the marketplace, and therefore adds hundreds of millions of pounds to UK customers' mobile telephone bills every year; and therefore calls on the Government to reduce MTRs as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
