EFFECTS OF THE ACTIONS
The change in market shares of the mobile operators
According to revenue of the operators
![Page 24: Information and Communication Technologies Authority of the Republic of Turkey (ICTA) Özgür Fatih AKPINAR NRA’S ROLE TO ENSURE COMPETITIVE](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5a4d1b617f8b9ab0599ad4f7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Effectiveness should not be ignored as well as competition.
Cost oriented call termination rate has vital importance for
competition.
Hesitation of decreasing about tax revenue is in vain.
(Although call termination rate has been decreased almost
%300, off-net traffic volume has increased almost %400)
Effective MNP is also important tools for competition.
