The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has ordered a reduction in mobile termination rates from 1 June by about 30 percent. The authority announced cost-based interconnection (termination) charges for fixed-line as well as mobile operators in the decision. After considering the results of cost models, international benchmarks and other factors, the PTA issued a short determination whereby MTR has been reduced by 28 percent, from PKR 1.25 to PKR 0.90 over a period of two and half years. This reduction is mainly due to rapid growth in the mobile market of Pakistan. It is expected that the reduction in MTR would reduce fixed to mobile tariffs as well as off-net tariffs for mobile operators.
