8.4 Interconnection   Telecommunications  operators  will  be  required  to  provide  ‘any  to  any’  connectivity  for  all   domestic  fixed-­‐mobile  and  mobile-­‐mobile  calls  and  data  messages.  The  TAK  will  ensure   that  interconnection  is  available  on  a  transparent,  non-­‐discriminatory  and  cost-­‐oriented   basis  to  all  licensed  operators,  including  the  technical,  physical  and  financial  components   of  interconnection.       8.5 Infrastructure  sharing   Regulation  will  promote  shared  access  by  operators  to  idle  infrastructure  capacity  or   infrastructure  which  is  difficult  or  inefficient  to  duplicate.    It  is  intended  that  operators   will  share  excavations,  ducts,  towers,  poles,  power  supply,  and  other  infrastructure   elements  of  their  networks  on  a  fair,  transparent  and  non-­‐discriminatory  basis.    The   Government  will  introduce  infrastructure  sharing  obligations  which  will  reduce  the  cost  of   providing  competitive  services.  The  TAK  will  be  entitled  to  define  details  of  such   obligations  including,  but  not  limited  to,  access  holidays  and  sufficient  spare  capacity.  The   Government  also  believes  that  it  is  critical  to  preserve  the  limited  land  which  is  available   for  use  by  ICT  providers  in  Kiribati.     Government  may  take  actions  to  ensure  that  major  operators,  also  new,  have   infrastructure  to  facilitate  reciprocal  infrastructure  access  agreements.     8.6 Market  conduct,  mergers  and  acquisitions   The  TAK  will  be  charged  with  ensuring  fair  competition.    It  will  be  responsible  for  ensuring   that  operators  do  not  abuse  a  dominant  position,  enter  into  anti-­‐competitive  agreements   or  engage  in  anti-­‐competitive  behavior  in  market,  including,  inter  alia,  anti-­‐competitive   cross  subsidies,  predatory  pricing,  unfair  discrimination  or  tying  arrangements.    The  TAK   will  also  review  proposed  ownership  transactions  which  could  diminish  the  level  of   competition  in  a  relevant  market  for  telecommunications  services.   8.7 Rights  of  Way     The  clauses  on  Rights  of  Way  or  Use  of  Land  in  the  present  legislation  will  be  updated  in   light  of  the  partially  new  approach  in  this  Policy.     8.8 Numbering   The  present  telephone  numbering  scheme  is  based  on  five  digits,  providing  a  maximum   capacity  of  tens  of  thousands  of  telephones.  The  capacity  is  not  sufficient  for  a  new   regime  with  several  service  providers  and  a  new  numbering  scheme  is  urgently  required     8
