The cost of making any interconnection or infrastructure sharing to the ICT network of another licensee shall be borne by the licensee requesting the interconnection.
In this section —
"accommodation" means space within buildings or land adjacent to buildings, belonging to the party providing the interconnection or infrastructure sharing, for use by the requesting party's equipment or personnel; and
"costs" means the fully allocated cost of accommodation, mechanical and electrical connection, electronic programming and infrastructure sharing and shall not include compensation for the loss of business which the party providing the interconnection or infrastructure sharing may incur by virtue of providing the interconnection or infrastructure sharing to the requesting party.
The cost referred to in subsection (1) shall be based on cost-oriented rates that are reasonable and arrived at in a transparent manner having regard to economic feasibility, and shall be sufficiently unbundled such that the licensee requesting the interconnection or infrastructure sharing service does not have to pay for network components that are not required for the interconnection or infrastructure sharing service to be provided.
