Link: Hutch 3G UK Appeals over Termination Cuts

Hutchison 3G UK has filed an appeal against a regulatory decision to reduce its termination charges by 45 percent, calling the ruling “absurd” and “‘anti-competitive,” the Financial Times has reported. The company has lodged the appeal with the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal.

Meanwhile they’re planning to start charging for SMS termination here in the UK from 1st July. A source tells me that certain operators will be paying 4.3p for deliverying texts to Three customers - which is considerably higher than the usual 3p for Vodafone, O2 and Orange.
