Icasa announces new call termination rate glide path

# The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa has gazetted amendments to the 2014 Call Termination Regulations, setting a three-year glide path for wholesale voice market rates. From July 2025, dominant operators must lower fixed call rates to five-cents, reaching one-cent by 2027. Mobile call rates will drop to seven-cents in 2025, decreasing to four-cents by 2027. Smaller operators and new market entrants will also follow reduced rate schedules. Icasa says the changes aim to boost competition and affordability.
