The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) on Wednesday cut the rate mobile phone operators charge each other for interconnecting customers by Sh0.87 or 87.7 percent, signalling lower call tariffs.

The regulator cut the charges commonly referred to as mobile termination rate (MTR) from Sh0.99 to Sh0.12 to match shifts in technology that have made mobile telephony more efficient.
