Germany's Federal Network Agency has approved the new termination rates of the German mobile network operators - which lowers the cost of termination rates by about 10%. The termination rates, which are paid to mobile operators by other network operators for terminating calls in their mobile networks, have now been set at 7.92 cents/minute for the two D networks and 8.8 cents/minute for the two E-networks.
