Agcom approves 10% cut in mobile termination rates by 2011 (Italy)

The Italian regulator Agcom finally approves the 10% cut in mobile termination rates for Italian mobile operators by 2011. The move is aligned with EU Commission’s requests, which calls for higher competition in Italian mobile market and provide increasing benefits in terms of decreasing consumer prices.
Under the new tariffs plan, Italy will lower the 2011 rates to $0.068 for Telecom Italia’s Tim, Vodafone Italia and Wind, from $0.114 for the first two operators and $0.123 for the third; and to $0.0815 for H3G’s 3 Italia from $0.168 currently. Agcom anticipates to achieve a full symmetry in terminations rates by 2012 at $0.058.
