completion of all tasks related to establishing a joint presence at the
existing mobile site.
4.2.5.2 The cost of adapting an existing mobile site to accommodate
another Licensee’s facilities shall be borne by the Licensee which is
requesting to share the existing mobile site save costs for depreciated
materials.
5. Price-Setting for Passive Infrastructure Sharing
5.1 Site categories
5.1.1 In order to determine maximum prices for passive infrastructure
sharing, RURA examined the actual cost of passive infrastructure sharing for
access to towers as well as access to electricity (both, grid and generator
power). This cost study has taken into consideration the most common
configurations based on lattice towers in three categories for heights, and
site configurations with and without access to the electricity grid.
5.1.2 The three categories for lattice towers are:
- towers with heights below 30 meters
- towers with heights between 30 and 50 meters
- towers with heights above 50 meters
5.1.3 The categories for power access are:
- mobile sites with equipment room and access to the electricity
grid
- mobile sites with outdoor installations and with access to the
electricity grid
- mobile sites with outdoor installations and without electricity grid
access
5.2 Price setting methodologies
5.2.1 When determining the maximum prices for tower and electricity
access sharing, RURA took into consideration different approaches for price
setting, such as
- leaving price-setting to the market, i.e. based on negotiations
between licensees
- price-setting based on benchmarking
- cost-based price setting
