Reductions of interconnect should also impact the price of fixed-to-mobile calls
DAY
Rio - The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) approved on Wednesday a proposal to reduce the values of the connections between different mobile operators. Until 2019, the Compensation Value Network Use of mobile (VU-M) should be reduced by over 90% from the current R $ 0.23 to R $ 0.02. The MTR is the value that mobile operators pay to use the network of other companies.

"This reduction in interconnection prices should be reflected in the prices of telephone services offered by companies to consumers as there will be increased competition in the sector," says the agency. According to the standard adopted today, the values of these rates are referenced to the costs and will be gradually reduced to the level of cost effective long-term
With this measure, Anatel expects prices of the links between different operators are closer to prices charged for calls between users of the same company. Thus, the consumer does not need multiple handsets or multiple chips in a single cell to make calls to other operators.
The reductions of interconnect should also impact the price of fixed-to-mobile calls, which should be substantially reduced, according to the agency.
To approve the standard, the Board of Anatel examined the impacts of MTR reductions already implemented in 2012 and 2013, which did not generate negative for the sector or reduced investments or corporate earnings results.
