Mobile Termination Rates
John Robertson
2007-11-28
That this House believes that mobile consumers in the UK face unnecessarily high call costs and receive complicated price plans which often discourage use; notes that mobile network operators charge each other substantial wholesale prices called Mobile Termination Rates (MTRs); believes the current system therefore hinders competition and stifles innovation; welcomes the fact that one UK mobile operator, 3, has publicly stated its willingness to cease charging MTRs; and calls on all other mobile operators to do likewise and create an MTR-free zone between mobile operators for the benefit of all UK consumers.
