Hallo Bengt and Jan,

I have few questions in this slide.

- About LRIC.

As far as I preliminary know, LRIC is the “gold standard” for setting interconnection charges. but why EU prefer the FTR/MTR (is this part of calling party pays?) I also still don't quite understand basic principle of LRIC model, as well as Bill and keep (the CPP and RPP are quite simpler)

- What does it means by "pricing strategies with on-net and off-net prices"?

- About UMA.

It is mentioned that UMA is one technology that undermine regulation. I guess UMA is "Unlicensed Mobile Access". Why the implementation of this technology need to be regulated anyway?is that because in term of cost structure point of view, competition, or something else?

Thank you

Hi,

LRIC stands for Long run incremental cost and is a way to model a way and calculate the cost for a particular service, like interconnection. LRIC models a new network and is therefore a way to give a replacement value. For intereconnection is LRIC used to model the cost for terminating a call. The principles for the design of the theoretical model will determine the cost structure and the aim is to model a reasonable efficeint operator. Interconnecation is both the regualted price for fixed termination rate, the price that a fixed line operatos is allowed to charge for terminating a call, and MTR, mobil termination rate is the price that a mobile operator is allowed to charge for terminating a call. The mobile operator has a monopoloy on termination which is why the  price is regualted.

The prices that an operator is setting for calls going to other operators networks are off-net and calls going to customers within the same network is on-net. Taking the termination charge in consideration means that the price that an operator charge for its customers for making calls to other operators networks will probably not be below the termination charrge as this is the cost that the operator has to pay.

UMA is a form of wireless access with a access point to the fixed network. It is by this means using unlicenced spectrum.
