The Commission published an external study assessing the cost of providing two types of mobile wholesale services in the EU: roaming services and voice call termination rates (CNECT/2022/OP/0065).
The findings will serve as one of several inputs considered by the Commission in the preparation for the review of maximum wholesale roaming charges and the review of the delegated act on the so-called Eurorates.
The study was commissioned to provide insights for the review of the maximum wholesale roaming charges, which is to be completed by June 2025. The results will also contribute to the review of the delegated act that sets the EU-wide maximum termination rates for mobile voice calls, known as Eurorates, due by the end of 2025.
The study does not prejudge any future policy decisions by the Commission in either the roaming or termination domains, which will be based on a range of inputs. These inputs include public consultations, additional information collected from stakeholders, and, for roaming, an additional external expert study on technical developments and an expert opinion from the Body of European Regulators of Electronic Communications (BEREC).
The study was conducted by Axon Partners Group.
