The Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA) issues this Statement of Results and Final Decision on its Consultation document (ECS 16/2020) captioned “Addendum to Market Information Reporting Requirements for Specified Licensees in the Electronic Communications Sector (ECS 28/2017)

The purpose of the addendum is to require Specified Licensees in the Electronic Communications Sector (ECS) to provide additional data needed to satisfy associated key performance indicators (KPIs) for URCA’s organisational performance indicators (OPIs). The term “specified licensees” refers to holders of Individual Operating Licences (IOLs) and Class Operating Licences Requiring Registration (COLRRs). Specified licensees are those providing fixed internet, pay-TV services (including cable television), fixed telephony, mobile voice and mobile data and business connectivity services to residential and business customers in The Bahamas. However, the measures set out in The Final Decision do not apply to holders of Class Operating Licences Not Requiring Registration (COLNRR) because such licensees only provide telecommunications services for their own use and not for commercial gain; and do not require interconnection to a public network.
