ComCom seeks submissions on bitstream price

The Commerce Commission wants submissions on proposed changes to the way it calculates Telecom's unbundled bitstream access (UBA) price, which is a regulated service.

The UBA service allows telecommunications companies to supply broadband services to retail customers without the need to replicate Telecom's copper local loop.

The commission today said the issues it wanted submissions on included its preliminary view that the method used to calculate calling discounts should be changed to more accurately reflect the discounts that Telecom customers received when buying a bundle of services.

It also wanted submissions on a preliminary view that the retail value should be used to calculate the data transmission component of the UBA price calculation rather than a cost-based value.
