Views of a global operator on dispute settlement processes TRAI Session, New Delhi Gordon Moir, Vice President and Chief Counsel BT Global Services

CONTENT Why it matters? Investment and regulatory certainty Models of dispute settlement and core principles of a successful regime

Investment flows to effective regimes – dispute resolution is key

Investment and Regulatory Effectiveness

Models of Dispute Settlement and Core Principles Transparency Speed Clear and effective rights of recourse Consistency Certainty Expertise Focus on core bottlenecks but technology neutral Turning to each of above…

Transparency Need effective and speedy consultation process Third party inputs key Business secrets respected but not to detriment of process Clear policy goals set out in advance – e.g. infrastructure investment v service level competition

Speed Critical – investment dampening impact of delay EC rules on interconnection disputes and mandated time frame welcome National procedural rules on appeals must NOT render ineffective the process Interim remedies – presumption on remaining in force unless material risk of error

Clear and Effective Rights of Recourse Single body with clear powers and if more than one body, e.g. anti-trust and regulatory agency – strong co-operation – ideally similar legal base Clear rules on when dispute will be deemed worthy of remedy by regulator – not vitiable by one party

Consistency Investment is driven on this key criteria No material change in policy without material impact assessment If more than one body or if mediation in place in individual disputes – mechanisms in place to determine conflicts

Certainty Core principles are set out in advance No movement from clear policy objective without material assessment of impact eg infrastructure v service Ideally focus only on access bottlenecks and in technology neutral fashion Look at bottlenecks through competition law eyes Consumer policy objectives identified as such and total clarity on same

Expertise Increasingly complex issues have to be determined by regulator Discrimination, price squeeze, cost allocation methodology – need hugely skilled people Mesh with consultation of interested parties and have effective regime

Mandatory Settlement ADR mechanisms can be appropriate – however need clear and effective fall back If pass disputes to alternate body, e.g. arbitrator, need to very clearly map distinctions from normal interconnection dispute process Both parties must agree Thresholds to alternate mechanisms clearly articulated and all principles above adhered to – including transparency and consistency
