Telecommunications Information Notice 07-05
Reduction in BlackBerry Airtime Rates and New Services Introduced
May 11, 2007
The Office of Telecommunications Management (OTM) regularly reviews its line of service rates to make certain rates charged for services reflect the actual cost of provisioning those services. As a result of a recent review, OTM has reduced the monthly BlackBerry air time rate for both Nextel and Cingular services. The rate revision will be effective with the May 2007 OTM bill. Also, several new services have been added, including airtime from Sprint and TeleNav GPS features from Cingular.
