Colombia’s Communications Regulatory Commission (Comision de Regulacion de Comunicaciones, CRC) has ordered domestic mobile operators to implement a 37% reduction on their interconnection charges from 1 January. As per Resolution 7007 of 2022, from 1 January 2023 mobile termination rates (MTRs) will drop to COP8.81 (USD0.002) per minute, before decreasing to COP5.56 from 1 January 2024 and COP3.51 from 1 January 2025.
Regarding MVNOs, meanwhile, the CRC says it has ‘modified the remuneration conditions in order to encourage free negotiation between companies, as well as the exploration of new business models’.
