Belgacom's rate adjustments remain below inflation

The adjustments of 1 October 2008 will not change this situation.
Despite this year's record inflation, Belgacom has succeeded in maintaining the same rates for Belgacom TV and ADSL and keeping 'Happy Time' calls free of charge. Belgacom has implemented significant price cuts for calls from fixed to mobile numbers in the past months, which is an important factor, given that they represented almost half of the average customer's calling expenses.
On 1 October, Belgacom will implement a number of rate adjustments, concerning calls to fixed numbers (except Happy Time during off-peak hours and on weekends), telephony subscriptions (except Discovery line, ISDN-30, I-Talk and I-office), the Comfort services and rental charges for telephones.
The adjustments of 1 July and 1 October 2008 are still significantly below inflation, which was last "indexed" on 1 January 2007.
