Media Statement: Mobile Termination Rates

Vodafone is disappointed the Minister has decided to regulate rather than to accept an industry solution that would have delivered lower mobile termination rates sooner.

Tom Chignell, GM of Corporate Affairs, says the New Zealand mobile telecommunications market is dynamic and active, and to further regulate at this point would only interfere in what is proving to be the most competitive part of the overall telco sector.
Vodafone sees no evidence that there will be material benefits to mobile or fixed-line customers from regulating mobile termination rates.
However, Vodafone will continue to work with the Commission through the process for the months to come.
