37 Section 91 Obligation of a universal service provider to inform of its universal service obligations and offer universal service products and services A universal service provider shall effectively inform of its universal service obligations and offer universal products and services. A universal service provider shall publish data and information on its universal service products and services as to ensure that they are easily available to subscribers and users. Section 92 Monitoring of universal service prices Ficora shall monitor the pricing of universal service, compare it to the general price level of communications services and assess the pricing of universal service in relation to the general consumer price level and income level of the population. Section 93 Net costs of universal service Net costs of universal service shall refer to the costs due to the production of a service which a universal service provider cannot cover with the returns brought in by the service. If it is evident that the provision of universal service constitutes an unreasonable financial encumbrance to the universal service provider and if the operator so requests, Ficora must calculate the net costs of universal service. In calculating the net costs of universal service, Ficora is not bound by the information given by the universal service provider or by the cost calculation principles of the operator. Section 94 Cost reimbursement to the universal service provider The part of the net costs constituting an unreasonable financial encumbrance shall be compensated to the universal service provider from state funds, if the provider so requests, taking into consideration: 1) size of the provider; 2) quality of the operations; 3) turnover of the operator’s telecommunications, directory inquiry service, and telephone directory service; and 4) other elements comparable to those referred in subsections 1–3. The Ministry of Transport and Communications shall make a decision on compensation of the costs, referred to above in subsection 1, on the basis of the net cost calculation by Ficora. Compensation with retroactive effect shall be paid for a maximum period of one year from the application date. PART IV
