Terminate the Rate supporter Three has described the efforts by Vodafone, Everything Everywhere and O2 to overturn Ofcom’s decision as “an attack on the wallet of everyone who calls a mobile” in an article in today’s Daily Telegraph.

Three has written to the Competition Appeal Tribunal highlighting the flaws in their claims and reinforcing the benefits of low MTRs.

Since Ofcom outlined its proposal to lower MTRs in April 2010, Three has introduced The One Plan which offers 2,000 any network minutes, 5,000 Three-to-Three minutes, 5,000 texts and all-you-can-eat data for £25 per month.

For occasional Pay As You Go users, Three has a 13p per minute plan which offers credit that does not expire.

Earlier this year, Ofcom decided that MTRs will fall over a period of three years coming down to 2.66p in 2011, 1.70p in 2012, 1.08p in 2013 arriving at 0.69p in April 2014. Ofcom will adjust these figures for inflation, meaning that from April 2011 MTRs will come down to 2.98p with an eventual rate of around a penny.

The final determination of the Competition Commission is expected to be published in Q1 next year.
