FRANKFURT: European telecommunications groups are calling for major technological companies pay more for the use of their networks, according to a report on Monday (Oct 2).

Citing a letter from the heads of 20 European telecoms companies, the Financial Times newspaper said that they were aiming for a fairer and more appropriate contribution from the largest generators of traffic to paying the costs of the network structure.
