Further consultation: Mobile Call Termination Market Review 2018-2021

Published: 17 November 2017
Consultation closes: 15 January 2018
Status: Closed (statement published)

Final statement published 28 March 2018

In June 2017, we published a consultation on our proposals for the future regulation of the MCT market. We proposed to impose a network access obligation on all providers with Significant Market Power (SMP) and a charge control on all calls.

Since June we have received information regarding five additional smaller mobile providers, not included in the proposed list of mobile providers with SMP published in June, which we consider should also be designated as having SMP and subject to regulatory obligations.

This document sets out our proposed changes to the list of mobile providers published in June and our proposals to impose SMP conditions on the additional providers included on that list.

Following information we have received, we have added a further two companies to our proposed list of telecoms providers that have significant market power in mobile call termination.
