In the study, alternative ways to determine mobile call termination charges have been investigated. The study ends up to a proposal where termination rates of mobile network operators would be tied with onnet retail call charges in a manner described in the study in more detail. Based on this proposal, artificial cost calculation mechanisms would not be needed, work load of operators and the regulator would decrease significantly, termination charges would be based on market prices and they would better reflect the natural relation of retail and wholesale prices based on the structure of the network, and appeal processes may decrease. The proposal does not significantly impact on the mutual trade balance of interconnected mobile operators.
