Ofcom to consider customer termination charges

Posted by Tom Espiner

Mobile operators already charge each other termination charges -- now Ofcom has called for opinions as to whether end users should be charged.

Interesting articles both in the Register and the Telegraph discuss the proposals.

Call me skeptical, but surely carrier termination charges are already passed on to customers? Won't it just make it more overt, if customer termination charges are brought in?

It won't just make it more overt, it will mean people having huge bills run up when the spammers get to work, or the jokers that decide they don't like someone and get all their friends to call the victim.

... at which point my phone goes in the bin.
