We would like to inform customers that there will be 84 adjustments taking place to the rate of message delivery on 1st June 2006. Whilst we are happy to announce that 44 relate to a decrease in price, we are regretful to state that the remaining 40 relate to an increase.
As the majority of price increases will be taking place on the Global I messaging route, we would like to console customers who terminate messages to these Global I destinations that many of them have now become available via Global II at the same (or lower) rate at which they currently exist.
We would also like customers to know that, except for 3 increases which took place in January, these are the first increases to take place in three years and we hope that future changes will relate to decreases only.
