Assessment principles for the pricing of mobile termination have been updated

FICORA has updated the assessment principles that are applied in assessing the pricing of mobile call termination, and presented its view on the development of mobile termination rates for years 2010 and 2011.

According to FICORA, mobile termination prices should develop so that in 2010 the maximum price would be 4 cents per minute and in 2011 3.5 cents per minute. The view is based on the characteristics of the market, the general price level of mobile termination in Europe, and
cost and volume data from 2007 that FICORA has collected from mobile operators.
Call termination charges are fees that telecommunications operators pay to other operators for calls that are made from their own networks to competing networks. Interconnection between operators is a primary requirement for communication between subscribers to two different operators.

FICORA follows regularly both the mobile network operators' cost and volume data and the development of the market. Applicable assessment principles and assessments of reasonable price level are updated when necessary.
