45: Access provider to calculate price on request

You could also call this:

"Access providers must work out and explain the price of a service when the Commission asks."

Illustration for Telecommunications Act 2001

When you apply under section 43, the Commission might ask an access provider to work out the price for a service. The access provider must do this by the time the Commission says. They have to follow the rules that apply to working out the price, which might include clause 2 or clause 3 of Schedule 1.

You need to know that the access provider must give the Commission a statement explaining how they worked out the price. They also have to give the Commission all the information they used to work out the price. This is all part of what the Commission requires when you apply under section 43.

The access provider has to follow any other requirements that might be set out in subpart 1 of Part 2 of Schedule 1 when working out the price.
