PART III: GENERAL RULES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE SHARING
9.
Reference Offer and Standard Price List
9.1
The Authority recognizes the right of operators to negotiate and agree
on terms and conditions of Infrastructure sharing. The Authority
however requires that such negotiation must be within the limits of an
existing Reference Offer developed by each potential access
provider.
9.2
Every access provider shall ensure that its Reference Offer is readily
available to other operators with a view to promoting fairness in the
negotiation process.
9.3
Access providers should in the process of developing the Reference
Offer be responsive and work in close association with other
operators, that is, prospective access seekers.
9.4
Parties involved in any negotiation for infrastructure sharing
arrangement are at liberty to negotiate outside the Reference Offer
provided that such negotiations are voluntary and non-discriminatory.
9.5
The Reference Offer should contain sufficient information on issues
relevant to the access seeker for negotiation purposes as itemised in
the First Schedule to these Guidelines.
9.6
Parties may request for other information which may be required in
the process of negotiating for infrastructure sharing. Such information
should be treated as confidential by the requesting party at all times.
9.7
The quality and nature of any information requested for will depend
on what stage the negotiation process has reached. Response on
any such request should be prompt to avoid delay.
9.8
A party may request for a site inspection if it is deemed necessary for
the purpose of aiding that party to reach an informed decision.
