Teléfonos de Noreste, S.A. de C.V., for 2013.
The Institute identified the following interconnection rates for public networks of the three companies in the period from January 1° to December 31 of that year:
Interconnection service | Interconnection rate per minute (pesos M.N.) | Transit rate per minute (pesos M.N.) |
In the same regional node | $0.02392 | $0.00968 |
Between regional nodes depending on a national node | $0.02683 | $0.01259 |
