supports the LTA’s structuring and management of the national numbering plans and IP addressing schemes for the following designations: a. Numbering Plans for Carriers providing Land Based Services b. Numbering Plans for Operators providing Mobile Services c. Numbering Plans for Regional Identification d. Numbering Plans for Emergency and Information Services e. Numbering Plans for Special Services f. Numbering Plans for Premium Rate Services g. Global IP and Internal IP Addressing Schemes (.lr domain names) h. Internet Exchange Point(s) With advances in technologies, the LTA, from time to time, may establish additional numbering plan designations. 3.4 Interconnection Services The policy supports the requirement that all service providers operating a telecommunications network and providing telecommunications services must provide interconnection, subject to negotiated commercial agreements. The LTA shall establish and administer the interconnection regime in a nondiscriminatory and transparent manner. The LTA shall also promote fair competition for all operators, ensuring adequate quality of the service for the purpose of transmitting traffic between subscribers of different networks. Operators may exercise the option to negotiate interconnection agreements among themselves on such terms and conditions as they may desire, so long as such terms are non-discriminatory to other market participants and consistent with the principles of this Policy. In the case where parties are unable to reach satisfactory interconnection agreements, through negotiations, the LTA shall intervene to determine interconnection terms, either through mediation or specific interconnection ruling. The policy supports the LTA to establish general terms, conditions and methodologies that it will apply in reviewing interconnection proposals, including the basis for determining interconnection charges. These charges must be cost-oriented and based upon the unbundled cost of network elements required for interconnection. Any operator determined by the LTA to be the Dominant Service Provider (under the Telecom Act) in an interconnection market is required to publish a Reference Interconnection Offer (RIO), indicating all conditions (price, technical, administrative, etc) of interconnection to their networks, which will be available to all potential interconnecting operators. The RIO and other provision of interconnection procedures must be approved by the LTA through Regulations, Orders or Rules. All interconnection arrangements shall include formal service level agreements between the parties, which identify minimum quality of service standards that each party is obligated to meet in the provision of interconnection services, and the remedies and compensation terms for failure to meet such standards. 23
