The Independent Communications Authority Of South Africa (Icasa) will, on Friday, table a new glide path for further mobile termination rate (MTR) cuts.

The draft Call Termination Regulations, which followed the conclusion of Icasa’s previous three-year glide path and its subsequent review, would outline the revised termination rates, as well as potential levels of asymmetry being made available to smaller players.

Icasa has considered whether MTRs should be further reduced to between 15c and 25c, and eventually eliminated, as an assessment revealed that the previous MTR cuts had not produced the intended increase in competition.

The MTR was reduced from 56c a minute to 40c a minute in March as part of a third round of cuts stipulated by Icasa’s 2010 three-year glide path.

These were also meant to have been the final round of cuts, but Icasa’s review revealed that the cuts had not yet achieved all the targets the organisation had wanted it to.
