A pedestrian shields his mobile phone from the wind as he walks through the City of LondonBritish telecoms regulator Ofcom on Wednesday proposed further cuts in mobile termination rates - the charges operators impose to connect calls across networks - in a move that could lead to cheaper bills for consumers.
