EXPERT LEVEL TRAINING ON TELECOM NETWORK COST MODELLING FOR THE HIPSSA REGIONS Arusha

This training session, led by ITU expert David Rogerson, focuses on telecom network cost modelling for the HIPSSA regions. Participants will learn about different cost concepts and engage in practical exercises. The session will be held in Arusha from July 15-19, 2013.

  1. EXPERT LEVEL TRAINING ON TELECOM NETWORK COST MODELLING FOR THE HIPSSA REGIONS Arusha 15-19 July, 2013 David Rogerson, ITU Expert

  2. Session 6:Calculation of call termination using different cost concepts (a practical exercise)

  3. Agenda Aims and objectives for this session

  4. Introducing Normalia • All the practical exercises in this workshop concern the fictitious African country of Normalia. • Normalia is a typical (“normal”) country with regulatory challenges similar to those in your country. • The details required for each practical exercise are presented in the slides / handouts.

  5. Telecoms in Normalia Telecom Sector Regulator (TRAN) Mobile Telecoms 40% teledensity Telecom (70%) Normcell (30%) Mobilco (new) Fixed Telecoms 15% teledensity Telecom (100%)

  6. Interconnection rates • TRAN follows international best practice and is inclined towards cost-based rates • But following previous practice it has given Telecom and Mobilco 3 months to negotiate interconnection • Meantime TRAN has appointed an internal Cost Engineer-Accounting Team (CEAT) to report on different cost standards: • Stand alone costs (SAC) • Fully allocated costs (FAC) • Long run incremental costs (LRIC)

  7. A. 2G Network – Direct On-net Costs $ 172 M B. 3G Network – Direct On-net Costs $ 48 M C. 2G Network – Direct Interconnect Costs $ 160 M D. 3G Network – Direct Interconnect Costs $ 35 M $ 180 M E. Shared Network - Direct Costs F. Retail– Direct Costs $ 280 M G. Network – Indirect OPEX $ 90 M H. Common and Overhead Costs $ 70 M Cost data obtained from Telecom These costs are exclusively for the mobile network (all costs shared with fixed services have been allocated in proportion to traffic volumes)

  8. Volume data obtained from Telecom Mobile Subscribers 2G – 12 million 3G – 3 million Mobile Traffic (minutes p.a.) On-net – 4,000m Termination – 2,000m Origination – 1,500m For the purpose of this exercise you may assume that there are no other mobile services – SMS and data are insignificant.

  9. Your task GROUP WORK EXERCISE 1 As CEAT, advise the Board of TRAN as follows: • Calculate or estimate the approximate SAC, FAC and LRIC (TSLRIC) of mobile termination for 2G, 3G and combined? • Which cost standard should apply to the mobile termination rate (MTR)? Why? • Should there be a different MTR for 2G and 3G traffic? Why or why not?

  10. Reporting format All costs to be shown in $ cents per minute
