ANRT continues its program of low interconnection rates
The National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority has adjusted the multi-year framework for interconnection rates for Voice and SMS for the 2010-2013 period.
ANRT decided to emphasize the 65% to 82% increase in interconnection rates from January 1st 2012. Endpoint interconnection rates on the mobile networks of operators: IAM, Médi Telecom and Wana Corporate should be established at 0.20 MAD (before tax) from January 1st 2013 instead of 0.40 MAD (before tax) as expected in the original decision. The same principle of downward price revision was recorded for the other endpoint interconnection rates of fixed networks and limited mobility as well as SMS. This approach aims to encourage operators to further reduce their retail prices for the benefit of consumers.
