Cost-orientation of interconnection tariffs for leased lines

03 June 2013

As a result of the first round of market analyses (2003), in its capacity as operator with significant market power, Romtelecom has been imposed a series of obligations as regards the provision of the services of leased lines – terminating segments, irrespective of the ensured transmission capacity, among which the obligation of price control by means of the retail-minus method (Decision no.1379/2003).

On the occasion of the second round of analyses on leased lines services markets, the relevant market has included terminating segments with the transmission capacity of up to and including 2 Mbps, Romtelecom further benefiting from the capacity as operator with significant power (Decision no. 6/2011). Romtelecom’s price control obligation has been upheld exclusively for the leased lines – terminating segments with transmission capacities of up to and including 2 Mbps, while the determination method has been changed (from retail-minus into LRAIC+ cost-orientation of the efficient service provision) and new tariff ceilings have been imposed (Decision no. 15/2011).

The regulated tariffs of the interconnection services for leased lines – terminating segments are available for consultation here.
