The update of the “pure” LRIC cost model for mobile termination was based, among other data, on elements that could be deemed to be confidential, and for this reason ANACOM will not make such elements publicly available, in order to safeguard bodies concerned by these data. Nevertheless, a cost model is provided to stakeholders, which stems from the original model referred above, as regards assumptions considered and the structure of calculation of algorithms used, having elements deemed to be confidential been deleted and masked.
ANACOM thus opts to publish a model that differs from the confidential model only as regards the input parameters deemed to be confidential, which were modified relatively to original parameters in a random proportion between -15% and +15%, to protect their confidential nature. In any case, ANACOM believes that the assumptions, structure of the calculation model and algorithms used by the model, as well as remaining documents published, will allow the various stakeholders to adequately understand the modelled hypothetical operator.
