What?  No, they don't.  They absolutely do not;  there are many, many 
different intercarrier compensation tiers here depending on operating 
area and the applicable tariffs arising from regulatory classification. 
  Termination to mobile carriers most definitely does not cost the same 
as fixed-line, and termination to fixed-line varies widely depending on 
interconnection agreements and who is doing the transport and the 
switching where.

*You* may be getting a blended rate plan that amortises all the damage 
into one convenient rate, but rest assured that it doesn't cost the 
underlying carrier the same rate all around.  If you get a plan from 
someone that gives you a rate deck by LATA, Tier or OCN, you will find 
that to be true.
