 REFERENCE PAPER
 
 
Scope  
 
The following are definitions and principles  on the regulatory framework for the basic 
telecommunications services.   
 
Definitions  
 
Users mean service consumer s and service suppliers.   
 
Essential facilities mean faciliti es 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 technica lly 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 re levant market for basi c 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 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 services  suppliers on a timely basis technical  information 
about essential facilities and commercially relevant inform ation which are necessary for 
them to provide services.  
 
2. Interconnection 
  2.1 This section applies to linking with su ppliers providing public  telecommunications 
transport networks or services in orde r to allow the users of one supplier to 
communicate with users of another supplier a nd  to access services  provided by another 
supplier, where specific co mmitments are undertaken. 
  WT/ACC/SPEC/ARM/1/Rev.7/Add.2 
 Page 33 
 
 
  
2.2 Interconnection to be ensured 
 
Interconnection with a major supplie r will be ensured at any tec hnically feasible point in the 
network.  Such interc onnection is provided. 
 
(a) under non-discriminatory terms, conditi ons (including techni cal 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 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 interconnection to a major s upplier will be made publicly 
available. 
 
2.4 Transparency of int erconnection 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 inte rconnection with a major supplie r 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
