equipment and resources, including inter
connect and switching capacity; and
(c) variable charges for information and com
munications services and supplementary
services.

incremental costs of the network controller
in providing the interconnection;

ly derived from underlying costs, built up
from the cost of separately identifiable
network elements; and

by a network controller of its network or
other services.

retail charges for the provision of the equivalent
services or facilities to be provided by the inter
connection.
(5) An interconnecting operator may acquire
services from a network controller at any retail
price offered by the network controller, without
prejudice to any right to acquire those same or
similar services under an interconnection contract.
