Potraz rules out mobile tariff hike

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe will not consider upwardly reviewing mobile charges to pro-up operations who blame a 35% tariff cut in early 2015 for declining revenues.

In January mobile tarrifs were slashed from $0,23 cents per minute to $0.15 cents.

Potraz acting director general Baxton Sirewu said that revenue were falling not only because of the tariff reduction but also on the top services such as WhatsApp.
