National calls were charged at 15 cents per minute (GST inclusive) for those customers enrolled in the “Union Affinity” programme. This rate applied only in respect of calls made during the weekend of 24/25 July 1993.

6.6 Telecom Build Your Business

Telecom’s business customers were allowed discounts on national and international calls pursuant to the “Build Your Business” programme. Under this programme, a 50% discount applied to those national and international calls made beyond a predetermined volume threshold. A discount of 5% was allowed in respect of such calls within the threshold.

The principles and guidelines for the discount were to stimulate call volumes and to maintain competitiveness in the market.
