The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India on Friday allowed mobile operators to decide the international call termination charges on their networks.

The regulator said that the international call termination charges will be brought under 'forbearence', which essentially means that the companies will have the flexibility to decide the tariffs.

However, the regulator said that the same can be done within prescribed range of 35 paise/min to 65 paise/min against a fixed rate of 30 paise/minute earlier -- a move that is expected to benefit telecom operators.
