Following the determination of ICP-ANACOM dated 8 November 2005, on the conditions for the deployment of the local loop unbundling (LLU), this Authority deems fundamental to be provided with access to up-to-date and detailed information, submitted by operators that take part in the offer, on time limits practised for several services related to the LLU, in order to ensure a swift intervention in case of need, to impose remedies and to protect the interests of end-users. This should occur without prejudice to the obligation of PT Comunicações, S.A. to send the quarterly report on the levels of quality of service provided in the scope of the RUO and on compensations incurred, according to the provisions of the referred determination.

Having regard to the targets and grounds mentioned above, ICP-ANACOM takes the view that the information to be requested is appropriate for the intended purposes and is proportional.

By determination of 14 December 2005, the Board of Directors of ICP-ANACOM decided to consult interested parties on the draft decision to be adopted. Comments received, the respective assessment and grounds for the determination are comprised in the “Prior Hearing Report on the draft decision of ICP-ANACOM on the information to be gathered to monitor the market in the scope of the local loop unbundling”, which is an integral part hereof.
