Conditions for the deployment of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU)


By determination dated 8 July 2005, approval was given to ANACOM’s proposed draft decision concerning conditions for the deployment of Local Loop Unbundling (LLU), and the prior hearing of interested parties was determined under the terms of Articles 100 and 101 of the Code of Administrative Procedure, for which a maximum time limit of 30 (thirty) working days was set.
 
This measure - which aims to guarantee protection of end-user interests and consolidate conditions which are conducive to market competition, namely through compensation for non-fulfillment - addresses systematic complaints from Operator Service Providers (OSPs) and end users regarding the quality of service provided by PT Comunicações (PTC) under its Reference Unbundling Offer (RUO). In turn, ANACOM has confirmed, through an analysis of information requested from PTC, the existence of service delays and improper unbundling, resulting in damages to both end users and OSPs.
 
Once a definitive decision has been approved on this matter, PTC, in addition to modifying its RUO accordingly, will be required to submit a quarterly report to ANACOM on service quality levels provided under the RUO and any compensatory fines incurred.
