Viviane Reding, European Commissionner responsible for Information, Society and Media, sees the interconnection rates as a crucial area of action.
Mobile termination rates are sometimes nine times higher than fixed termination rates.
Currently the average EU mobile termination rate is nine euro cents per minute which is disproportionate to the costs incurred by operaters. Viviane Reding wishes a cut to between one and two euro cents by 2012.
