Bezeq's Herzl Ozer promises that 64 percent of Internet users will not be affected by the new payment scale, claiming that the Net surfers represent only 3 percent of all telephone calls in the country.
Bezeq also changed the time when reduced fees begin, to 6 pm from 10 pm. However, many users still criticize Bezeq's plan to increase frame relay costs by 50 percent, which would be prohibitively expensive for many small companies, community centers and schools.
Zachariah added that the reduction of night rates could harm other non-Internet activities, and that the total amount of hours should be extended. One solution would be to charge a different rate for subscribers dialing to Internet providers, Zachariah added.
