The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has defended its decision to effect a smaller-than-recommended cut on the Mobile Termination Rate (MTR), citing a need to strike a balance in protecting investments and customer interests.
MTRs are the charges levied by mobile service providers on other telcos for terminating calls on their network. The regulator on November 17, 2023, set the MTR at Sh0.41, to apply for two years from March 1, 2024, although the current SMS termination rate of Sh0.05 per message would stay.
