CRA Launches Consultation on Standard Access Offer for Developers

(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Following the Passive Civil Infrastructure Access Regulation issued by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) earlier this year, CRA has launched a public consultation to address concerns by the developers likely to be affected by the regulation.

The access regulation mandates all entities owning or controlling a telecommunications civil infrastructure to grant access to Service Providers. The Regulation ensures a consistent and efficient access to these infrastructures in Qatar. It requires any Access Provider that receives a request from a Service Provider for access to passive civil infrastructure to produce and maintain a standard access offer.

The developers likely to be affected by this requirement in the regulation have requested CRA's assistance in drawing up this Standard Access Offer, and a draft of this offer is the subject of this public consultation.

In a press statement released today, the CRA invited all interested parties to provide their views and comments on the draft of the Standard Access Offer for Developers.
