Can only be good news.
I do think the mobile charges in the UK are high, especially when I go to HK and prices are so much lower.
Unless the mobile operators go down the Amrican model where the mobile user pays for incoming calls (although there the cost of calling a mobile is the same as calling a landline)Originally Posted by mikemikemi
It isn't only mobile operators that make termination charges. BT (for example) charges other operators for calls originating from their networks that transit or terminate on BT's network. Ofcom's aim is to make the charge reflect the true cost to the operator.

From my understanding this isn't really direct action from Ofcom but rather action from the EU Commisioner for Consumer Affairs who has been pushing for reductions in the costs to consumers of mobile services. Ofcom are really just reacting post the rules enacted since 2007 within the EU to fight the cartel/monopoly of the mobile sector.
Ofcom have been doing a lot lately haven't they? Nothing useful might I add. Their decision on Sky Sports was a joke. As is this. It seems that anyone who has a good business Ofcom will wreck it to give everyone else who didnt have as good of a business a slice of the pie.
Sky Sports used to charge a flat monthly fee for their service. Some people thought it was high, I didnt! And its definitely much better than having to pay for 2 Services to get the same matches! Now to watch all premier league games I not only have to get Sky sports but also ESPN. And who do we have to thank for this? Well Ofcom of course.
And this according to Ofcom is brilliant for the customer as it gives them more choice and allows them to spend less... Oh Wait.......
People are saying its good but how is it? Obviously the money will have to be got from elsewhere?
