Additional network access Clause Samples
The 'Additional network access' clause defines the terms under which a party may be granted access to networks beyond the standard or initially agreed-upon scope. This clause typically outlines the conditions, limitations, and procedures for requesting and providing such extra access, which may include technical requirements, security protocols, or additional fees. Its core practical function is to ensure that any expansion of network access is managed transparently and securely, preventing unauthorized use and clarifying the responsibilities of each party.
Additional network access. The Supplier shall also offer other forms of wholesale access if and to the extent Ofcom has mandated it as a regulatory remedy pursuant to a full market review in the product and geographic markets where the subsidised infrastructure is situated. Other forms of access may include (without limitation) dark fibre access or splitter access, if required. If Ofcom mandates other forms of wholesale access in this way ("additional wholesale access products"), the Supplier shall provide such access on all existing and future infrastructure in receipt of public subsidy under the Commission Decision. At the Effective Date of this Framework Agreement it is anticipated that Ofcom would provide that:
(a) all reasonable costs of providing the additional wholesale access products would be met by access seekers;
(b) the products shall be used for the primary purpose of supplying broadband services; and
(c) the availability of the additional access products in the area covered by the subsidised infrastructure would be required in Ofcom's reasonable opinion to deliver sustainable competition in broadband services. The additional access product requirements set out in this paragraph 4.4 shall continue for as long as the Ofcom remedy is in place. The Supplier shall document (technically, operationally, and commercially) how different unbundled access products could be provided with its Supplier Solution architecture.
