this Situation is familiar. Scroll once again to the operator the range of a better interface in the hope of.
the Operators A, B and C all offer tempting price, but different terms and additional benefits. One does not have a deadline, in the second it is 12 months and in the third no less than 24 months. What to commit to or is it worth anything?
the Choice may soon be one option easily, if the temporary mobile subscriptions-the maximum duration to be decided limit from the current 24 months to 12 months.
This option is thought out transport and communications (LVM) as part of the left project (switch to another service), where the whole electronic communications service law reform.
temporary speed restriction has been one of the alternative legislative drafting. The ministry’s final proposal will become clear when the draft law leaves a comment in the near future and will at the same time public.
No significant effects on the prices of the
the number of temporary speed restrictions would apply specifically to mobile subscriptions, i.e. telephone subscriptions and mobile internet, for example, not fixed broadband connections.
LVM survey (switch to another service)according to different fixed-term contracts is around one-fifth of all mobile subscriptions. More than 12-month contracts, the amount is not accurate information.
the draft Law of the form when considering the ministry has also clarified what the effects of temporary speed limit, the introduction of the market. Result: not much.
mobile services prices not according to the report, would have major implications, but more it was the fact that the consumer would not be so for a long time locked together in the agreement, said the law preparation of the leader, consult the official Emil Asp transport and communications ministry.
the Main grounds for fixed-term limit would be according to the report, consumers ‘ freedom of choice, increased and uniform regulation of other nordic countries. With the exception of sweden, all

the time limit of the delimitation of the current support for example, communication agency Traficom as well as the Competition and consumer authority, FCCA.
More freedom of choice and the rights of the consumer and the energy moving the market in the fast developing sector, belonging to the FCCA’s argument.
– 24 months is a long time to engage the consumer in this rapidly developing industry. In that time you can get already more affordable or with better properties in interfaces, but it is tied to a particular operator, said group manager Satu Toepfer FCCA:sta.
Another reason to intervene in temporary trouble are FCCA:according to the ambiguities of sales practices. Toepferin according to communications have increased, particularly in mobile phone subscriptions fixed-term into issues.
– for Consumers has not always been clear where he is committed. This is of course not directly to the duration of the related issue.
the number of time share operators
Yes, no, possibly.
the Operators have divergent views on the amount of time of necessity.
It is no wonder, because for example the market leader Elisa does not offer fixed-term contracts at all, while DNA’s mobile subscriptions, about half of the 6, 12 or 24 month fixed term. The longer the amount of time of commitment, the lower the monthly payment form.
Telia the biggest part of joining is without a fixed period. Long 24-month contracts is only for mobile broadband, where their share is a few percent.
Eliza was ready to deny temporary problems completely, as they according to the company, slow down the competition. Business director at Antti Lovely allow up to six months of temporary difficulties.

– Operators, the most expensive is customer churn. Therefore, the longer the contract binding clients to also reward. In the long term the riots, customers receive benefits in addition to the price of the warranty for a long time into the future, Väisänen said.
Väisänen, according to the DNA the longest most 24 month agreements popularity is even growing, although they are not just marketed to. According to him, the limitation also would appear to consumers.
– If the temporary effects would be limited, we have to weaken the agreements with future benefits. We have a functioning market and customer satisfaction at an excellent level, so I don’t see why the current legislation should change, he said.
the Third largest operator Telia is ranked views Elisa and DNA between the. Telia’s mobile unit business manager Petri Lindqvist according to the long amount of time life has drawbacks, but the market is doing well also without them.
– 24 month contract has in some cases been a good way to pay the device easily on the same invoice interface with smaller monthly installments. If the contract the maximum time will be shortened to 12 months, the monthly payment amount to the customer while growing, Lindqvist said.
