COMPETITION IN THE MOBILE TELEPHONE INDUSTRY
Early day motion 305, tabled 23 June 2010 by Robert Halfon (Conservative). Signed by 38 members.
That this House supports proposals for a significant reduction in mobile termination rates (MTRs); is concerned that an artificial floor on the cost of mobile telephone calls distorts competition in the marketplace, and therefore adds hundreds of millions of pounds to UK customers' mobile telephone bills every year; and therefore calls on the Government to reduce MTRs as soon as possible.
