The Postal Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe is currently locked in negotiations with the country's mobile network providers with a view of them slashing their tariffs.
It is envisaged that the talks will result in a 30% reduction in tariffs. However, Potraz acting director general Alfred Marisa said the negotiations could take anything between one and two years to complete.
He said preliminary findings from a scientific Potraz study revealed that Zimbabwe's mobile voice charges were 30% higher than they ought to be due to a variety of operational inefficiencies.
Potraz said the data tariffs were reasonable.
