Telecommunications firms fighting over the proposed reduction of mobile termination rates (MTR) will know their fate in less than six weeks, the Communications and Multimedia Appeals Tribunal has revealed.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) announced it will cut the MTR per minute to Sh0.12 from Sh0.99 at the start of this year, but the decision was temporarily suspended after Safaricom filed an objection at the tribunal. The regulator said it expects a reduction in MTR to also lower calling rates for consumers.
