Consumers can expect €100m savings on telephone bills

THE Commission for Communication Regulation (ComReg) has claimed Irish consumers can expect e100m in savings on their telephone bills, thanks to a reduction in mobile termination rates.

The rates are to be cut by almost 50% over the next three years.

Mobile termination rates (MTRs) are the wholesale charges which operators, both fixed and mobile, pay to mobile operators for calls that are connected on their networks.
