By determination of 12 July 2013, ANACOM has approved a draft decision on the "wholesale market for call termination on the public telephone network at a fixed location - definition of product and geographic markets, SMP assessment and the imposition, amendment or withdrawal of regulatory obligations". The draft decision is to be notified to the European Commission (EC), to the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) and to the national regulatory authorities of other Member States of the European Union (EU).
Following ANACOM's analysis, it is concluded that all operators providing the voice call termination service on individual public telephone networks provided at a fixed location have SMP in this market, including all operators with geographic and nomadic numbering resources (30 range).
A set of obligations was defined, to be imposed on Grupo PT and on other operators with SMP in the market for call termination on individual public telephone networks provided at a fixed location, including an obligation to control prices. The maximum fixed termination price is set at 0.1114 eurocents per minute for all operators, with effect from October 2013. This price corresponds to the average of the prices notified to the European Commission by National Regulatory Authorities which have established prices based on the "pure" LRIC costing model in accordance with European Commission Recommendation 2009/396/EC of 7 May 2009 on the Regulatory Treatment of Fixed and Mobile Termination Rates in the EU.
On the same date, approval was given to the report on the consultation to which the respective draft decision, approved by determination of 1 March 2013, was submitted.
