3.3 Cabinet unbundling
BoR (11) 06b
a) Cabinet unbundling is available on a mandated basis. The take-up of the service is
minimum.
b) Unbundling at the cabinet, access to the copper loop, is done at the physical layer.
c) Cabinet unbundling is included in market 4 - wholesale (physical) network infrastructure
access.
d) Current regulatory obligations include:
� transparency obligation including requirements to provide information on the planned
NGA network topology;
� publication of reference offer;
� non-discrimination obligations;
� access obligations, including collocation and backhaul products.
e) The tariffs for cabinet unbundling are set based on LRIC model.
f) When establishing the LLU tariffs, including the cabinet unbundling scenario, the SMP
operator must ensure that the margin between the retail and the wholesale tariffs is
sufficient enough to allow a hypothetic operator to enter the market.
3.4 ODF unbundling
ODF unbundling is not available (voluntary or mandated).
More specific questions regarding fibre unbundling mainly resulting from the Commission’s
Draft NGA Recommendation:
� Specify for Market 4 which of the remedies according to Art. 9-13 AD are in place with
regard to FttH/B and FttN.
All remedies according to Art. 9-13 AD are in place with regard to copper local loop in the
FTTN(FTTC) scenario.
� Art. 22f Draft NGA Rec. foresees to mandate unbundled access to the fibre loop
irrespective of the network architecture and topology implemented by the SMP operator.
Are there any exceptions applying to SMP providers (e.g., in certain geographic areas)
from such an obligation? If so, specify these exceptions and elaborate on the reasoning for
not imposing unbundled access to the fibre loop.
