sharing arrangements with other operators.

10. Allocation of Capacity
10.1 There shall be no obligation on access providers to develop new
infrastructure whenever its capacity has reached saturation level.
However, access providers are expected to reasonably take into
consideration the demand for infrastructure sharing when expanding
their facilities and or installing or deploying new infrastructure
amenable to sharing.
10.2 Where there is no capacity at the existing facilities to meet the needs
of additional access seekers, the access provider should consider
redevelopment as a means of increasing capacity at existing facilities.
10.3 The Authority will consider that capacity is available where the
specific resource is not occupied nor reserved by the access
provider.
10.4 In every situation where access is granted, the access provider
should have the reserved right in the event of scarcity to demand that
any allocated capacity be relinquished if such capacity has not been
utilised within two (2) months of delivery of access. This right should
be reserved with the intent to avoid the pre-emption of future capacity
needs on the part of access seekers which would stifle the present
needs of other access seekers.
10.5 At the expiration of the period for which access was granted to a
party, an application for a further extension of the period will be in
accordance with the procedure used for the initial application. The
application will be considered on the merits by the access provider.
