ANNEX 1
REFERENCE PAPER
Scope
The following are definitions
and principles on the regulatory framework for the basic telecommunications
services.
Definitions
Users mean service
consumers and service suppliers.
Essential facilities mean
facilities of a public telecommunications transport network or service that:
(a) Are
exclusively or predominantly provided by a single or limited number of
suppliers; and
(b) Cannot feasibly be economically or technically substituted in
order to provide a service.
A major supplier is a supplier
which has the ability to materially affect the terms of participation (having
regard to price and supply) in the relevant market for basic telecommunications
services as a result of:
(a) Control over
essential facilities; or
(b) Use of its position in the market.
1. Competitive safeguards
1.1 Prevention of anti-competitive practices in telecommunications
Appropriate measures shall be maintained for the
purpose of preventing suppliers who, alone or together, are a major supplier
from engaging in or continuing anti-competitive practices.
1.2 Safeguards
The anti-competitive practices
referred to above shall include in particular:
(a) Engaging
in anti-competitive cross-subsidization;
(b) Using
information obtained from competitors with anti-competitive results; and
(c) Not
making available to other services suppliers on a timely basis technical
information about essential facilities and commercially relevant information which
are necessary for them to provide services.
2. Interconnection
2.1 This
section applies to linking with suppliers providing public telecommunications
transport networks or services in order to allow the users of one supplier to
communicate with users of another supplier and to access services provided by
another supplier, where specific commitments are undertaken.
2.2 Interconnection to be ensured
Interconnection with a major
supplier will be ensured at any technically feasible point in the network. Such interconnection is provided:
(a)
Under non-discriminatory terms, conditions
(including technical standards and specifications) and rates and of a quality
no less favourable than that provided for its own like services or for like
services of non-affiliated service suppliers or for its subsidiaries or other
affiliates;
(b) In a timely
fashion, on terms, conditions (including technical standards and
specifications) and cost-oriented rates that are transparent, reasonable,
having regard to economic feasibility, and sufficiently unbundled so that the
supplier need not pay for network components or facilities that it does not
require for the service to be provided; and
(c)
Upon request, at points in addition to the network
termination points offered to the majority of users, subject to charges that
reflect the cost of construction of necessary additional facilities.
2.3 Public availability of the procedures for interconnection
negotiations
The procedures applicable for
interconnection to a major supplier will be made publicly available.
2.4 Transparency of interconnection arrangements
It is ensured that a major
supplier will make publicly available either its interconnection agreements or
a reference interconnection offer.
2.5 Interconnection: dispute
settlement
A service supplier requesting
interconnection with a major supplier will have recourse, either:
(a) At any time;
or
(b) After
a reasonable period of time which has been made publicly known to an
independent domestic body, which may be a regulatory body as referred to in
paragraph 5 below, to resolve disputes regarding appropriate terms, conditions
and rates for interconnection within a reasonable period of time, to the extent
that these have not been established previously.
3. Universal
service
Any
Member has the right to define the kind of universal service obligation it
wishes to maintain. Such obligations
will not be regarded as anti-competitive per se,
provided they are administered in a transparent, non-discriminatory and
competitively neutral manner and are not more burdensome than necessary for the
kind of universal service defined by the Member.
4. Public availability of licensing criteria
Where a licence is required, the
following will be made publicly available:
(a) All the licensing criteria and the period
of time normally required to reach a decision concerning an application for a
licence; and
(b) The terms and conditions of individual licences.
The reasons for the denial of a
licence will be made known to the applicant upon request.
5. Independent regulators
The regulatory body is separate
from, and not accountable to, any supplier of basic telecommunications
services. The decisions of and the
procedures used by regulators shall be impartial with respect to all market participants.
6. Allocation
and use of scarce resources
Any procedures for the allocation and use of scarce
resources, including frequencies, numbers and rights of way, will be carried
out in an objective, timely, transparent and non-discriminatory manner. The current state of allocated frequency
bands will be made publicly available, but detailed identification of
frequencies allocated for specific government uses is not required.
