Mobile Termination Rates (EDM416)

Mobile Termination Rates

EDM number 416 in 2007-08, proposed by John Robertson on 28/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Competition, Consumers, Service industries and Telecommunications.

That this House believes that mobile consumers in the UK face unnecessarily high call costs and receive complicated price plans which often discourage use; notes that mobile network operators charge each other substantial wholesale prices called Mobile Termination Rates (MTRs); believes the current system therefore hinders competition and stifles innovation; welcomes the fact that one UK mobile operator, 3, has publicly stated its willingness to cease charging MTRs; and calls on all other mobile operators to do likewise and create an MTR-free zone between mobile operators for the benefit of all UK consumers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
