Transit service provided by PT Comunicações

Draft Decision of ANACOM related to the transit service provided by PT Comunicações, S.A.

Analysed the proposal for the transit service with interconnection at Single and  Double Transit levels, with traffic conveyance between PT Comunicações, S.A. and the destination operator supported on PT Comunicações, S.A. circuits, submitted by this operator following the determination of the ANACOM's Board of Directors of 23/05/02, it was verified that, maintaining the criteria associated with said determination, the proposal is broadly compatible with the applicable regulatory principles. 

In particular, acknowledging that this service is new in the market and therefore there is some uncertainty in supply evolution, traffic volumes and service provision conditions, which justifies some caution in price definition, there is no reason, at present, to change the proposal submitted by PT Comunicações, S.A. for the transit service, with interconnection at Single and Double Transit levels, without prejudice of a price revaluation within the global framework of RIO 2003.

Thus, and pursuant to the provisions contained in paragraph 1 of article 13 of Decree-Law no. 415/98, and without prejudice of the provisions of paragraph 2 of the above-mentioned article, the ANACOM's Board of Directors decided that PT Comunicações, S.A. must change, within 10 days, the RIO 2002, in order to introduce the applicable conditions, including prices, to the transit service with interconnection at Single and Double Transit levels, with traffic conveyance between PT Comunicações, S.A. and the destination operator interconnection point supported on PT Comunicações, S.A. circuits.

The maximum prices, within the scope of the RIO 2002, applicable to transit service using PT Comunicações, S.A. circuits are as follows:
