Termination rates in the UK could continue
Current termination rate control in the UK has to expire in March 07. But Ofcom found that regulation remains necessary to protect consumers from high prices.

It has also unveiled its intent to to carry out a review of the wholesale SMS (text message) termination market in 2007.
