Well, last time BlauWorld reduced its rates (lower rates to several countries and 9 cents to Western Europe and North America) I recall a couple of articles along the lines of "Calls to Turkey now cheaper."

I doubt that, as roaming in Russia was for many years the most expensive thing you could do with your phone (local calls $6 per minute with North West GSM). Lack of competition, not specifically thirst for money, is the most usual explanation for high prices.

I'm not sure why it would be the same price, though. Perhaps foreign calls to mobiles avoid paying high interconnect fees to a state communications monopoly that offsets the CPP difference?
