The interconnection-related charges include interconnection setup charge, termination rate, transit charge, connection charge or other equipment rents, and other ancillary charges.
The charges incurred from the network interconnection between significant market powers and other telecommunications enterprises shall be handled as follows:
1. The termination rate and connection charge shall be assumed by the party that receives the tariff; nevertheless, specific agreement follows if there is any negotiation with the connection charge by the interconnecting enterprises.
2. The transit charge shall be assumed by the party that leads to the reason for the switching, and it shall be determined through negotiation if there is no reason for the switching.
3. Other costs shall be assumed by the party that requires interconnection and results in the cost increase of the other party.
If the voice traffic volume between two networks exceeds the bearing capacity of the direct interconnection circuit or bandwidth and requires network switch, the resulting costs shall be negotiated by related enterprises, and the provisions of subparagraph 2 in the preceding paragraph shall not be applicable.
