Interconnection Regulations​​
(1)The Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC, hereinafter the “Commission") Statutes set out rules, regulations, rights, and obligations with regard to the interconnection of telecommunications networks.

(2)The concept of interconnection carries significant importance for the growth and progress of the telecommunication market. It is a key component to enable and foster competition in the market. Telecommunications users would not be able to connect to each other without interconnection arrangements between service providers. Moreover, interconnection allows service providers to offer services in areas in which they are not present, maximising the number of offers each user can access, increasing competition to the benefit of users, without the need of duplicating networks.

Promoting and facilitating interconnection between Service Providers will contribute to the objectives stated in the Telecoms Act regarding in particular:

a.the provision of advanced and adequate telecommunications services at affordable prices;

b.the provision of access to the public telecommunications networks, equipment and services at affordable prices; and

c.the creation of a favorable atmosphere to promote and encourage fair competition in all fields of telecommunications.
