Swisscom reducing interconnection charges
Swisscom is reducing the interconnection charges for 2004 by up to 13 percent. This price reduction will enable Swisscom to remain within the European target range and implement the current regulatory provisions fairly, transparently and consistently. Interconnection governs the activation of Swisscom networks alongside those of alternative providers.
Since 1998 Swisscom has been offering cost-oriented interconnection charges that have been calculated according to the LRIC method since the year 2000. The new cost calculations for 2004 will result in price reductions of up to 13% depending on the service offered. The prices contain only the relevant interconnection costs and no profits. The method used by Swisscom is based on international findings and experience.
The interconnection prices (for details see the table at the end of this press release) vary according to service and usage. Based on the effective traffic distribution (standard rate 40%, off-peak rate 60%) and an average call duration of four minutes, the average price of regional termination for 2004 amounts to 1.14 centimes per minute.
