ITU-MCMC INTERNATIONAL
TRAINING PROGRAM
Regulating Interconnection and
Access
26 August 2015
Purpose of Access Regulation
Create competitive environment
Level playing
operators
field
among
large
and
Minimise
duplication
of
infrastructure
facilitating service based competition

Standard Access Obligations
Provide access to listed facilities and services
on reasonable terms and conditions
Same or more favourable
technical standard and
quality
Equitable and non
discriminatory basis
Requires comparison on what Access Provider provides to Access Seeker
and what Access Provider provides to itself
4
Access List Services – Key Concepts
Inclusion of Services and Facilities in the
Access List is based on Key Concepts
1. Long-term benefit
of end user (LTBE)
Promote
competition
Any-to-any
connectivity
Efficient use
and efficient
investment
2. Bottleneck
Controlled by
monopolistic
firm
Denial of use
Not feasible
to duplicate
Feasibility to
provide
access

Open System Interconnection (OSI):
Layers and Functions
Upper
layers
7
Application Layer
Supports application and end user processes
6
Presentation Layer
Converts data, compresses and encrypts data
5
Session Layer
Establishes sessions before data is transmitted
4
Transport Layer
Establishes connections to ensure that the packets
move through networks reliably and without errors
Network Layer
Handles the routing of network messages using
logical addresses created by protocols such as
Internet Protocol
Data Link Layer
Specifies the size of the packet of data to be sent,
contains basic error detection and correction to
ensure that the data sent and received is the same
