The National Communications Authority (NCA) of Ghana has announced the setting of new telecoms interconnect termination rates to replace the existing regime, which was set up in 2008 and expired on 31 December 2011. The watchdog says the new framework, which entered into effect on 1 January this year, was decided upon following consultation with operators and as a result of the NCA’s own assessment of market conditions there. In its statement the regulator confirmed that from the start of this year: • A single 24-hour interconnection rate shall be applicable;*• The interconnect termination rates for voice calls originating from fixed and mobile networks in Ghana shall be charged at GHS0.05 (USD0.03) for 2012, and will glide to GHS0.045 and GHS0.04 in 2013 and 2014 respectively;*• The interconnect termination rate for SMS on all mobile networks in Ghana will cost GHS0.007 for 2012, and glide to GHS0.006 and GHS0.005 in 2013 and 2014 respectively;*• The incoming international transit interconnect termination rate for all calls shall be maintained at its current rate in accordance with the Electronic Communications (Amendment) Act, 2009 (Act 786)
