Mobile Today has been talking Mobile Termination Rates (MTRs) and the Terminate the Rate campaign being led by 3 and BT.

The article covers those backing the campaign wanting MTRs lowered to create reduced call costs for the consumer and fair competition within the industry.

According to Kevin Russell CEO of 3UK though, “Since termination rates have decreased, traffic has gone up”, and sees the arguments against the initiative as scaremongering and rhetoric. This is supported by the words of BT’s managing director of consumer and retail, John Petter, which are also contained in the article.
