Section 49, The Telecommunications Act, 2006

In resolving any disagreement or dispute overinterconnection charges or any other terms and conditions between any operators submitted to the Commission under subsection (4) of section 48, the Commission shall be guided by the following principles:- (a) the terms and practices for interconnection arrangements must not discriminate unjustifiably between users of interconnection arrangements and similarly situated users; (b) charges for interconnection services and facilities must reflect the operator’s costs defined as the incremental costs, and may include allowance for a reasonable return on capital investment; (c) differences in charges between different users may only be justified on the basis of cost differences directly attributable to providing the interconnection for those users.
