 FINAL LIST ON BASIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES 
REFERENCE PAPER  
Scope
 
The following are defin itions 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 telecommunica tions transport network or service that 
 (a) are exclusively or predominantly provide d by a single or limite d number of suppliers; 
and 
 (b) cannot feasibly be economically or technica lly substituted in order to provide a service. 
A major supplier  is a supplier which has the ability to materia lly 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 esse ntial 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 ma intained for the purpose of preventing suppliers who, alone or 
together, are a major supplier  from engaging in or continui ng 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 servic es suppliers on a time ly basis technical  information 
about essential faciliti es and commercially relevant info rmation which are necessary for 
them to provide services.  
2. Interconnection
 
2.1 This section applies to linking with supplie rs providing public teleco mmunications 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.  WT/ACC/SPEC/UKR/2/Rev.12 
 Page 35 
 
 
  (a) under non-discriminatory terms, cond itions (including tec hnical 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, co nditions (including technical standards and 
specifications) and cost-oriented rates that are transparent, reasonable, having regard to 
economic feasibility, and suffi ciently unbundled so that the supplier need not pay for 
network components or fa cilities that it does not require for the service to be provided; 
and 
 (c) upon request, at points in addition to th e 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 in terconnection to a major supplier wi ll be made publicly available. 
2.4 Transparency of interconnection arrangements  
It is ensured that a major supplier will make publicly available either its interc onnection agreements or a 
reference interconnection offer. 
2.5 Interconnection:  dispute settlement  
A service supplier requesting inte rconnection with a major supplie r will have recourse, either: 
 (a) at any time; 
 (b) after a reasonable period of time which has been made publicly known; or 
 (c) to an independent domestic body, which may be a regulatory body  as referred to in 
paragraph 5 below, to resolve disputes rega rding 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 univers al service obligation it wishes to maintain.  Such 
obligations will not be rega rded 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
