Abstract:
Telecommunication occurs when the exchange of information between two or more entities (communication) includes the use of technology. New technologies are changing the way regulators need to manage interconnection. Thoughtful consideration of innovative ideas can greatly improve the efficiency in multioperators/ service atmosphere. The formation of advisory groups in international, regional and/or national levels and national regulatory authorities could expedite the process of accommodating or improve the ICX approach of interconnection in the respective markets and/or interconnection models. One of the emerging markets of South Asia- Bangladesh has adopted the unconventional approach in its interconnection regime. Telecom regulators introduced an ICX based interconnection regime in 2007 and with that started a new era of interconnection in Bangladesh. Comparison of benefits of before and after the changes has proved that ICX based arrangement can be beneficial to the overall interconnectivity scenario. Service provider all over the world are now emphasizing on cost optimization and simplified architecture which allows adoption of future
technology/services. ICX based interconnection regime can be the solution and the
potential of such model is gaining in popularity. International Telecommunications
Union (ITU)’s recent publications recommends the concept of an “Interconnect
Gateway Exchange” for the multi-service and multi-operator environment. The
handbook suggests that countries setting up an ‘Interconnect Gateway Exchange’
in a multi-operator environment can address the challenges of multi-operator and
multi-service interconnection environment more effectively and efficiently. Two
aspects of the prior 2008 interconnection regime in Bangladesh raised particular
concerns:
