In its attempt to create a free and competitive telecommunications market,
the National Communications Regulatory Authority (ANRC) is trying to open up
the networks of large players for small competitors.
ANRC decided, following a complaint submitted by the Intersat company in
Constanta, that RCS& RDS will negotiate and close an interconnection
agreement with the complainant. ANRC also established the technical
interconnection solution and the tariffs for making calls between the two
networks. Interconnection is the physical link between communications
networks in order to make communication between users from different
networks possible. For operators, interconnection is a service they buy from
other operators, thus making it possible for their clients to talk to the
users of a different network. In order for Intersat clients to be able to
communicate with those of RCS& RDS, the company initiated negotiations
for the closing of an interconnection agreement. As RCS& RDS did not
respond to the request, Intersat took the matter to ANRC.
Looking at the situation, the regulatory body decided that the
interconnection should be done indirectly through RomTelecom, as both
operators had previously closed agreements with the leading landline
company. ANRC set the tariff at 0.02 euros per minute, not including VAT,
for both companies. Intersat Constanta is a local electronic communications
operator that provides landline and data communication services. The
RCS& RDS group is one of the most important coaxial cable
telecommunications (CATV) operators with over a million clients
nationwide.
