DEFINITIONS
Draft 1.0 RIO 2000.1.1
Algemeen1.
Bij de artikelsgewijze beoordeling van de RIO 2000.1.1 hanteert het college de volgende regel. Artikelen uit de Definitions welke naar de mening van het college behoren tot de RIA, worden beoordeeld met een verwijzing naar het Concept-besluit.
Bij artikelen- of zinsnedes van artikelen- welke naar de mening van het college niet behoren tot de RIA, wordt aangegeven dat deze beoordeling geschiedt voortuitlopend op een beoordeling op grond van artikel 6.2 lid 2 TW en/of artikel 6.9 lid 2 TW jo artikel 6.2 lid 2 TW.
2.
Na de splitsing van de RA en de RIA (de Annexen) en de bekendmaking van de Nederlandstalige RIA, dient in de Nederlandstalige (doorslaggevende) RIA een lijst met definities te worden opgenomen (al of niet in een afzonderlijke annex), die de relevante in de RIA gebruikte begrippen omvat. De Nederlandse begripsomschrijvingen dienen overeen te stemmen met de door de wetgever gehanteerde omschrijvingen daarvan. In de Engelstalige RIA zal bij de definitielijst kunnen worden volstaan met een verwijzing naar het daarmee overeenstemmende Nederlandse begrip. De Nederlandstalige en Engelstalige versie van de definitielijst dienen dezelfde betekenis te hebben. Mocht het nodig zijn dat Engelse partijen de betekenis van deze definitie niet begrijpen, dan zou de verwijzing naar het daarmee overeenstemmende
Nederlandse begrip kunnen worden aangevuld met een (niet doorslaggevende) vertaling van de bij het Nederlands begrip behorende omschrijving.
In de te sluiten overeenkomsten (alsook in de RA) zullen slechts definities kunnen voorkomen van begrippen die niet in de RIA worden gehanteerd (aangezien zij alsdan beter in de RIA kunnen worden omschreven). Voor het overige zal in de te sluiten overeenkomsten (de RA) volstaan moeten worden met een verwijzing naar de in de RIA gedefinieerde begrippen. Zowel in de RIA als in de te sluiten
overeenkomsten (RA) staat voorop dat deze Nederlandstalige RIA voorgaat boven de Engelstalige RIA en boven de op basis daarvan gesloten overeenkomsten. Een dergelijke rangorde is thans ook opgenomen maar slechts ten aanzien van de Nederlandstalige en Engelstalige versie van de Modelovereenkomst. 3.
De begripsomschrijvingen dienen conform de TW, de Europese en Internationale aanbevelingen en definities (zoals ITU-T en ETSI) te worden uitgelegd. Het gebruik van deze aanbevelingen en definities dient consistent in de RIA (de Annexen) te worden toegepast. Het bovenstaande betekent onder andere dat in ieder geval alle prestatie-indicatoren van Service Niveau Overeenkomsten (SNO) gedefinieerd moeten worden.
4.
In deze Annex zijn verschillende begrippen niet opgenomen, waaronder ‘Acceptance Test, Parties, Call Attempt, Call set-up, End User Connection, End User, Circuit Terminating Equipment, Collocatie, Party, Quality of Service, Fault Restoration, Unique and Party-specific alphanumeric identifier, Fault Reporting Party, Fault Receiving Party, Fault Start Time, Fault End Time, Operational Pilot, Interconnection, Network, RIA, Telecommunication Network, Item of Planned Work, Planned Work, Planned Maintenance’ en Oneigenlijk gebruik’.
Tevens is het college van mening dat definities van de termen ‘Eerste Acceptatiedatum, Finale
Access Area A geographic region containing one Access Point defined by a set of PSTN national numbering scheme Area Codes as specified in
Technical Manual.
Access Point A KPN location which is part of the KPN Infrastructure which is offered for connection to exactly one Point of Presence, both of
which are in the same national number area defined by an Area Code.
OPTA: zie Concept-besluit hoofdstuk 3 onder Definities en Meervoudige aansluitingen onder 4.2.7. Het college is van oordeel dat de definitie moet worden aangepast. De definitie zou derhalve moeten luiden: ‘Each Access Area is associated with one Access Point. An Access Point is associated with one or more Point(s) of Presence.
Access Point Circuit Terminating Unit (AP CTU)
A technical unit at an Access Point in which the Network
Interconnection is terminated, and to which KPN makes connection to Telco’s equipment, in accordance with the technical specifications set out in Technical Manual.
Agreement The present agreement, manuals, schedules, appendices and amendments attached and/or referenced hereto.
OPTA: zie Concept-besluit hoofdstuk 3 onder Definities. De Billing Manual maakt onderdeel uit van de RIA, hetgeen betekent dat de term ‘Agreement’ ten onrechte is gebruikt. Het college is van oordeel dat de term ‘present’ niet aansluit bij de definitie van ‘Agreement’, aangezien de definitielijst onderdeel uitmaakt van de RIA en niet van de te sluiten overeenkomst. In dit verband moet de omschrijving van de definitie-voorzover in de RIA nog gebruikt- worden aangepast. In plaats van de ‘huidige overeenkomst’ dient te worden gesproken over ‘de op basis van de RIA (welke term dan ook gedefinieerd zou moeten worden) te sluiten (interconnectie)overeenkomst’.
Answered Call A call where an ISUP answer message (ANM) has been received in accordance with the Technical Manual.
Approved Planning Information

Billed Party The Party to which an invoice is sent for the relevant Services taken or provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
OPTA: zie Concept-besluit hoofdstuk 3 onder Definities. Het college is van oordeel dat in deze definitie ten onrechte wordt gesproken van ‘Agreement’ (zie standpunt bij de definitie van ‘Agreement’). Billing Data The unprocessed recorded data from the Metering Systems and other
sources generated in the course of the provision of the Services as specified in Service Definitions.
Billing Party The Party responsible for collecting the Billing Data, calculating the amount to be invoiced, producing the Invoice Information, and sending
the Invoice to the other Party.
Billing Period A calendar month starting on the first day of the month at 00:00 and ending on the last day of that month at (23:59 plus 60 seconds), or
such other period as is agreed in writing between the Parties.
Billing System The system or systems used to process Billing Data, collate Invoice Information and to prepare Invoices relating to charges payable for the
Services as specified in Service Definitions.
Busy Hour The (consistent) hour of the day during which the amount of traffic expressed in Erlang is expected to reach its peak.
conveyance of voice frequency messages between Subscriber
Connections, all in accordance with the technical specifications set out in the Technical Manual.
OPTA: zie Concept-besluit hoofdstuk 3 onder Definities en hoofdstuk 4 onder KPN Telecom PSTN
Terminating Access Service. Het college is van oordeel dat het begrip ‘Call’ niet beperkt mag worden tot een bepaalde teledienst maar in beginsel alle PSTN en ISDN dragerdiensten dient te ondersteunen. Het college staat een definitie voor die niet afhankelijk is van een bepaalde dienst zoals de definitie ITU-T, P.10; ‘the establishment and use of a complete connection following a call attempt’.
Call End The point during a call at which an ISUP release message (REL) is received in accordance with Technical Manual by the KPN
Infrastructure or Telco Infrastructure, as the context requires.

OPTA: zie Concept-besluit hoofdstuk 3 onder Definities. Het college is van oordeel dat de Q1 Final Forecast de contractueel te leveren aantal is, dat op het einde van het leveringskwartaal operationeel moet zijn. Dit moet expliciet worden vastgelegd in de lijst met begripsomschrijvingen (zie college standpunt bij artikel 7.2.1.4 van de Modelovereenkomst). In deze definitie zou tevens tot uitdrukking moeten worden gebracht de verhouding tussen de ‘Final Forecast’ en de ‘Provisional Forecast’. De procedures dienen de redelijkerwijs te verwachten marktgroei als graadmeter te nemen voor het vaststellen van prognoseperioden.
