The Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) said that it is prepared to help facilitate fixed and mobile network operators to engage in commercial negotiations relating to the withdrawal of the regulatory guidance on "Mobile Party's Network Pays (MPNP)". The withdrawal of the current MPNP arrangement is one of the major decisions set out in the "Deregulation for Fixed-Mobile Convergence" Statement issued by the Telecommunications Authority (TA) on 27 April 2007. Under the MPNP arrangement, the fixed-mobile interconnection charge (FMIC) is paid by a MNO to the interconnecting FNO for telephony traffic both from a fixed customer to a mobile customer, and from a mobile customer to a fixed customer.
