Safaricom stands to lose an estimated Sh1.5 billion annually after it reached an agreement with the Communications Authority of Kenya to cut mobile termination rates (MTR) from the current Sh0.99 per minute to Sh0.58 per minute.

MTRs are the charges levied by a mobile service provider on other operators for terminating their voice calls on its grid.
