South Africa could impose a new plan to lower mobile call termination rates when the current three-year regulations end on September 30, the telecom regulator's acting chairman said on Wednesday.
The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) in 2014 implemented a three-year "glide path", the timetable for bringing down rates gradually, for telecoms companies, including Vodacom and MTN.
"As to whether we will determine a new glide path or will then regulate certain aspects of the voice market, it's a decision that we will make and that will be in effect from October 1," Rubben Mohlaloga, an ICASA councillor and acting chairman told reporters in parliament.
