The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) is working on a new costing model which will see mobile telephone users enjoiying cheaper rates.

The new model is expected to result in reduced tariffs for ordinary consumers. Currently a minute costs an average of $0,23.

Speaking at a five-day workshop that ended last Friday, Potraz director-general Charles Sibanda said the current costing model had become irrelevant in the prevailing set-up.

"We are working on a costing model that is acceptable to everyone, that is fair to the consumer and to operators," said Sibanda.

Sibanda said the regulatory authority wants to come up with a costing model that would address the current situation, in consultation with the operators and consumers.

Potraz is mandated by law to issue licences in the postal and telecommunications sector and to set the terms and conditions for activities in the sector. Cheaper Cellphone
