Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This determination caps wholesale charges for the Domestic Mobile Terminating Access Service, requiring mobile operators to price termination using the TSLRIC+ cost method so they can’t overcharge rivals for completing calls.

It affects mobile network operators (who must comply), other telcos (who pay capped rates), and consumers (who benefit from lower retail call costs). The cap is 9¢/minute for 1 July 2007–31 December 2008.
