Summary

Recommendation ITU-T D.1041 offers policy and methodological principles for Member States interested in establishing transparent co-location access and service rates. Co-location is an important telecommunications wholesale service, essential to a competitive telecommunications landscape and a sustainable environment, as it eliminates the need for operators to buildout new or replicate existing infrastructure. A key component for encouraging co-location is the establishment of reasonable co‑location access and service rates on the principles of fairness and equity.
