Easing up mobile phone market

The Commerce Commission says it's trying to make it as easy as possible for new players to enter the mobile phone market.

It has recommended that the Minister of Communications not regulate the price that companies charge each other for mobile roaming.

Roaming is when the customers of one network travel out of the range of that network and their calls are carried by another network.

The commission says government intervention is not needed because Vodafone and newcomer NZ Communication have reached a working agreement.

Commission director of telecommunications Osmond Borthwick says the deal set an industry standard, and will make it easy for companies starting out.

He says the arrangement is very similar to what would have happened if the sector was regulated.
