The methodology for calculating the highest tariffs for the right of access to public property and shared use of electronic infrastructure was approved in the November 23 meeting of the Government.

This envisions the facilitation of the re-use of infrastructure by providers of public electronic communications networks by setting common principles for calculating the tariffs of services for ensuring access to telecommunications installations and channels.

Under the bill, the highest tariffs for access to electronic communications infrastructure will be calculated based on the direct costs, including the capital ones, sustained in connection with the offering of the right of access, and on the value of public property.
