Abstract:
New technologies are changing the way regulators need to manage interconnection. Thoughtful consideration of new ideas can greatly improve the efficiency in national/international level atmosphere. The formation of advisory groups in international, regional and national levels and national regulatory authorities could expedite the process of improving the ICX approach of interconnection in the respective markets. One of the emerging markets of Bangladesh has adopted the unconventional approach in its interconnection regime. Telecom regulators introduced an ICX based interconnection regime in 2007 and started a new era of interconnection in Bangladesh. ICX based interconnection regime can be the solution and the potential of such model is gaining in popularity. The current ICX based interconnection arrangement offers certain advantages like simplified network architecture, creation of new revenue opportunity, enhanced capacity, redundant data connectivity. These improvements in Bangladesh interconnection regime may encourage other countries to replicate the model in national/international service or operator complicated environment.
