Last time ANCOM reduced the mobile interconnection charges was in March, when fees were lowered by 19% to 30%, the regulator said in a statement Thursday.

Since March 1, mobile operators have charged a maximum of 4.05 eurocents per minute for calls outside their network.

The measure will apply to Cosmote Romania, Orange Romania, Romtelecom, RCS&RDS, Telemobil and Vodafone Romania.

According to data provided to ANCOM by operators, the Romanian telecom market stood at EUR3.5 billion in 2011.
