Section 25 in International Telecommunication Cable Landing Stations Access Facilitation Charges and Co-location Charges Regulations, 2012
25. The Authority observed that taking an 'utilisation factor' of 70%, as suggested by most of the stakeholders, has the effect that the seeker has to bear 43% more charges in comparison to the actual cost incurred by the OCLS. For example, if the cost is L 1 for a fully loaded access facilitation set-up and if it is being recovered through 70% 'utilisation factor' then charges paid by seeker will be ? (1/0.7)= L 1.43. Ultimately, this additional cost will be borne by the consumers who are taking services directly or indirectly from other ILDOs.
