## Restrictions on Dominant Telecommunications Services Providers 

Under the Telecommunications Act, the regulations governing dominant telecommunications services providers apply only to Type I service providers. A Type I service provider is deemed to be dominant if it meets any of the following criteria and was declared by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications or now the National Communications Commission as dominant: 

• controls key basic telecommunications infrastructure; 

• has dominant power over market price; or 

• has more than a 25% market share in terms of customers or revenues. 

We have been declared by the former competent authority Ministry of Transportation and Communications as a dominant Type I service provider for fixed line and mobile services. 

Under the Telecommunications Act, a dominant Type I service provider must not engage in the following activities: 

• directly or indirectly hinder a request for interconnection with its proprietary technology by other Type I service providers; 

• refuse to release to other Type I service providers the calculation methods of its interconnection fees and other relevant materials; 

• improperly determine, maintain or change its tariffs or means of services; 

• reject, without due cause, a request for leasing network components by other Type I service providers; 

• reject, without due cause, a request for leasing lines by other service providers or customers; 

• reject, without due cause, a request for negotiation or testing by other service providers or customers; 

• reject, without due cause, a request for negotiation for co-location by other service providers; 

• discriminate, without due cause, against other service providers or customers; or 

• abuse its position as a dominant provider, or engage in other unfair competition activities as determined by the regulatory authorities. 

In addition, a dominant Type I service provider is subject to special regulations limiting its tariff changes.
