I have no idea about those rates, what I can tell you is that unless this is addressed in the architecture (as done in other countries) then any other solutions will have significant pitfalls and a unit cost explosion - given the margin direction on voice generically I don't think that's in anyone's interest.
That probably means a different set of winners and losers that the prior proposal would have but ( personally speaking I agree with some but not all of voda's points) it would mean a sustainable platform in the medium term.
