MTN Group said it had asked a
South African court on Friday to review the telecoms industry regulator's
decision to slash telephone connection rates that the sector says will cost it
millions of dollars.
The Independent Communications
Authority of South Africa (ICASA) said last month that it would halve the rate
a company can charge rivals for using its mobile network to 20 South African
cents per minute per call starting March 1.
Meanwhile’ the telecoms regulator
said on Friday it would delay the introduction of planned call rate cuts by two
months to allow it to respond to a court challenge by one of the country's
biggest mobile operators.
The Independent Communications
Authority of South Africa had planned to slash mobile termination rates by 50
percent at the start of March but has now moved that date to May 1.
