"Telecoms regulator, Ofcom, has today proposed further cuts to mobile phone bills, vowing to lower the charges operators impose to connect calls across networks – known as ‘mobile termination rates’.

Termination rates occur when a consumer calls a mobile phone user on a different network – either from a mobile or a landline – and the network operator they are calling charges a termination cost to the provider with whom they are placing the call.

Ofcom concluded its last review of the market for mobile termination rates in 2011, imposing a control on the rates charged by the four largest network operators. Since then, mobile termination rates have already fallen 80 percent, from 4ppm to 0.8ppm. This represents a significant fall from a decade ago, when termination rates were 14 ppm. This new controls by Ofcom would see termination rates fall slightly further, to less than half a penny per minute by April 2017."
