JERUSALEM: Israel's outgoing communications minister said on Tuesday he plans to cut landline phone tariffs<\/a> by 40%, the first time rates would fall in 17 years.
Shares of Bezeq Israel Telecom, the country's largest telecoms group, closed 10% lower on the news after making steeper losses earlier, a move Barclays analyst Tavy Rosner called \"overdone\".
He noted that the ultimate effect on Bezeq will be just a 3.6% drop in revenue.
Yoaz Hendel, who was fired on Monday as part of political jockeying in anticipation of an early Israeli election, said the public would save about 400 million shekels ($123 million) a year from using landlines from Bezeq.
The group, which operates a nationwide phone network, expressed anger at the regulator's plans, saying charges for its telephony services are already low.
It said the decision was a \"tool in an unnecessary political game using Bolshevik regulation that we thought had already passed from the world\".
Bezeq added that the timing was unfortunate as it is about to launch a fibre optics network<\/a> at a cost of billions of shekels.
Hendel, whose tenure as minister ends on Tuesday, said the lack of an update to phone rates<\/a> in years had been an \"injustice\" to consumers, and that now was time to correct distortions in the market.
\"The use of landline<\/a> phones has decreased over the years, but the service still has over 2 million subscribers,\" he said.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the use of landline phones for studying, working from home and keeping in touch with family members rose, he added.
The reduction in rates to 30-40 shekels a month from 50-60 shekels will still be subject to a public hearing, but Rosner sees its approval as a formality.
\"We see the likelihood of it becoming final as high, given the high political impact of lowering retail rates,\" Rosner said.
In recent months Hendel has sought to push forward deployment of a nationwide fibre optics network and 5G mobile network.
He was fired after he and another parliament member in the small Derech Eretz faction opted to join a new political party opposed to the governing coalition.
