Update of the RIO template

21 March 2024

In its decision of 4 November 2020, the Office for Communications set the maximum limits for termination charges in the fixed and mobile networks.

The providers concerned were obliged to publish a standard offer for voice call termination (Reference Interconnection Offer, RIO) on their websites based on the AK's template.

Version 1.0 of this template was issued with effect from 4 November 2020.

In the meantime, the Communications Act (KomG) has been completely revised and adopted by Parliament (LGBl. No. 216/2023).

This results in a significant change for the AK template, specifically with regard to the upper limits of termination rates (Art. 30 rev. KomG) and the definition of regulated calls (new: "for calls originating from and terminated to Union numbers").

With the entry into force of the revised KomG, these are limited to 0.20 euro cents/min for the mobile network and 0.07 euro cents/min for the fixed network.

The AK is taking this change as an opportunity to review the RIO template as a whole. In addition to adjusting the charges, other content-related, technical and editorial adjustments were made to a limited extent.

The Office will be happy to receive comments until 19 April 2024 by e-mail to info.ak@llv.li. In case of questions do not hesitate to contact Mr. German Bell on +423 236 64 82.
