German Regulator Lowers Mobile Termination rates by 10%

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. The new rates are hence just under 10 per cent and more than 11 per cent lower those hitherto payable to T-Mobile and Vodafone D2 and for E-Plus and O2 respectively, viz. 8.78 and 9.94 cents/minute.  more
