Section 75C was enacted as an temporary order, with the  cellular operators to make the necessary adjustments in the  cellular systems and in the interconnection arrangements between them to enable full implementation of section 75B of their license. To remove doubt, it is clarified that this temporary order was enacted only for a limited time,  owing to difficulties that were pointed out by the  cellular operators concerning the possibility of receiving information about non-completion of an SMS on another  cellular network; However, beyond this, nothing may be inferred from this temporary arrangement concerning permission to collect payment for an SMS that was not transferred to its destination, and said arrangement does not detract from the Ministry’s basic position according to which, in general, no payment may be collected for a telecommunications service that was not realized.
