ACM lowers fixed, mobile termination rates
2013-04-16 09:06:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Dutch Consumer & Market Authority (ACM) has set the rates for fixed and mobile calls. The rate that operators may charge for delivering calls to a mobile network will drop to 1.017 eurocents from 2.4 per minute. For calls to fixed lines, termination rates will decrease to 0.108 cents from 0.37 per minute. All rates exclude VAT. The rate changes will go into effect from 1 September 2013 and be valid for an initial three years. The market decision will be under consultation until 27 May; it will then go to the European Commission for notification. The maximum rate is, in line with European rules, based on the pure BULRIC cost methodology, which the Commission feels best reflects underlying service costs. The continued reduction in call termination rates will lead to a fall in revenue for fixed and mobile operators.
