Telecommunications Act 2001

Interconnection Pricing Review Draft Determination

On 13 April 2005, the Commerce Commission (“the
Commission”) released its draft determination, under section
49 of the Telecommunications Act 2001 (“the Act”),
reviewing the price for interconnection between the network
of Telecom New Zealand Limited and the network of
TelstraClear Limited, which was set by the Commission’s
determination of 5 November 2002 (Decision 477).

Decision 477 set the initial price for the two designated
services in Schedule I of the Act: Interconnection with
Telecom’s fixed PSTN and interconnection with a fixed
PSTN other than Telecom’s, at 1.13 cents per minute.

The parties to Decision 477, Telecom and TelstraClear,
applied to the Commission, under section 42 of the Act, for
the price set for interconnection with Telecom’s fixed PSTN
to be reviewed. Telecom also applied for the price set for
interconnection with a fixed PSTN other than Telecom’s
to be reviewed.

The Commission has calculated the price of interconnection
to be 1.00 cent per minute, using a forward-looking cost
model described as TSLRIC or Total Service Long-run
Incremental Cost.

The Commission has proposed a duration for the
determination extending from 1 June 2002, the effective
date of commencement of Decision 477, until the date of
public release of the Commission’s final determination.

The Commission is seeking submissions from interested
parties on the draft determination.

All submissions must be received before 12.00 midday on
9 May 2005.

determination can be downloaded from the Commission’s
