Reports on cost estimation
Cost distribution
This report uses a matrix to show the distribution of the cost
elements by service. It shows the total cost of a network segment
and the total cost of a service.
Cost evaluation data
This report shows the definitive data needed to calculate costs:
amortization by segment, adjustment for asset revaluation,
maintenance and running costs, amortization period (actual and
desired) and net immobilization.
Average costs
This report shows the data on average costs arranged according to
type of service, including network access.
Report on results
This report shows the tariffs computed according to the costs
oriented to them, as well as the losses and gains of each service
with respect to the current tariffs, the calculation parameters and
the information corresponding to the universal service obligation
(USO) policy, monthly subscription, connection charges, etc. It is
useful for simulating tariffs, since it enables comparison between
the different modifications.
