3 3 Over the last year, there has been a dramatic fall in prices of close to 30% in mobile telephony, due mainly to an increase in competitive pressures. In other services more competition and faster reduction in rates are needed, particularly in Internet access. Source: OECD, Communications Outlook 2007.
