Multi-year framework of interconnection rates (Price cap)

The second multi-year price cap began in 2010. This new framework for the fixed and mobile network introduced the following innovations:

• The introduction of pricing asymmetry between the two mobile operators having significant market power on the relevant market;
• Interconnection rates set for new entrants;
• The inclusion of SMS in the new rate framework;
• The definition of a new lower profile taking into account both national references and international benchmarks.
