HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) wants to cut the connecting charge for calls between two mobile networks from the current VNĐ440 to VNĐ270 per minute.
The ministry is collecting opinions for a draft circular on the issue.
Both of the above-mentioned rates include the connection charges paid to enterprises when they must be indirectly connected via the domestic long-distance landline telecommunication network. However, the charge does not include value-added tax.
Earlier, the ministry’s Circular No 48 which took effect from May last year stipulated that MobiFone, Vinaphone and Vietnammobile had to pay VNĐ400 per minute to Viettel when their users call the Viettel network, down by VNĐ100 from the previous level. Meanwhile, users from other networks calling MobiFone, Vinaphone and Vietnammobile numbers had to pay VNĐ440 per minute, down VNĐ110 from the previous level. — VNS
