If I remember correctly, BT were claiming that this could potentially lower the costs of calls to these number ranges as Mobile networks may be more inclined to reduce the cost they charge us consumers due to having to pass on x amount (that varies) to BT where BT is terminating provider (TCP).

Personally, I think it was another excuse to get more money.

… I also assume the "unbundled tariff" will make the whole thing irrelevant?

It is very hard to work out who is playing games with whom over this issue.

Unless the industry is re-nationalised, the way in which the costs of telephone calls are determined will always be the subject of dirty deals, big players exploiting their market power and competition driven by marketing.

The unbundled tariff and the prohibition of charges on 080 calls will at least make the situation far more transparent. The consumer will thereby be more aware of when they are being ripped-off and therefore this will be likely to happen less often. Whatever we may wish, the regulator must allow businesses to operate as businesses.
