Currently, make calls to another mobile operator costs double a normal call. An amount deemed too high by some users. Thus, in 2014, it is expected that the prices of contracts between different mobile operators prepaid mode calls are revised downwards. This is at least what the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) announced in its December newsletter.
Because of this approach: the ICT minister wants a realignment of prices between different mobile operators. Moreover, there is some time Tassarajen Chedumbrum Pillay asked the ICTA to a market study. Since then, the regulatory authority is working hard on the case.
Pending this review, several types of rates apply when a mobile phone is used. These relate to calls between subscribers of the same operator, a different operator and to a landline. For example, a call from Orange to Emtel or Chile costs Rs 3.60 per minute, a call from an Orangefixed line Mahanagar Telephone Mauritius Limited (MTML) and Mauritius Telecom costs Rs 3.48 minute.
As for the prices charged mode postpaid , they are slightly lower. But it does not change anything for the subscriber, the note was still considered too salty.
The only operator that seems to differentiate its offering is MTML. How? By offering competitive rates, or Re 1.15 per minute to all other operators. MTML, whose subscribers totaled 50,000, believed to have been there a way forward. In addition, when MTML subscriber receives a call from a number Orange and Emtel , he receives bonus. It is also proposed by MTML packages that caught the attention of the Minister of ICT. Hence his desire to align the rates between different operators.
However, when a decline in prices generally stimulate demand against a fixed supply, this may result in a deterioration of the quality of network coverage and sometimes even without network.
