  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 maintained for the purpose of pr eventing 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 user s of one supplier to communicate with users of 
another supplier and  to access services pr ovided by another supplier, where specific 
commitments are undertaken. 
2.2 Interconnection to be ensured
