MP Joins Campaign to Lower Mobile Termination Rates
Jim Hood, MP for Lanark & Hamilton East, has joined the “Terminate the Rate Campaign” in support of Ofcom’s proposals to cut the cost of Mobile Termination Rates.
Mr. Hood said:
“I have recently received many letters from people in Lanark & Hamilton East who have responded to the Ofcom consultation on the wholesale mobile voice call termination market review where Ofcom is already proposing that the rates should be reduced from 4.3p to 0.5 p.
Nobody should have to worry about whether they can afford to communicate with friends and relatives. Last year we were charged millions of pounds in unfair fees for calling mobile phones from a landline. That’s why I have signed up to the campaign. The Ofcom campaign must continue to get everyone’s support if all mobile phone companies are to make realistic charges. “
