The increase in tariffs requested was 10%. The average inflation rate for the period 1 October 2014 to 1 October 2015 was 3.72%.

Salt Essential also indicated the following cost increases: electricity, rent, licence costs from vendors and salary costs.

In monetary terms, these increases are not high even though they seem high in percentage terms. The tariffs are not deemed anti-competitive and are not unreasonably discriminatory in that:

1. They do not prevent, restrict or distort competition in the market for the supply of telecommunications;
2. There is no abuse of individual or collective dominant position by Salt for the supply of telecommunications in respect hereof;
3. There is no restrictive practice or activity whose anti-competitive effects outweigh its procompetitive effective.

All requirements in terms of section 53 of the Act that deals with the approval of tariffs have been adhered to in that:

1. All pertinent information as required by section 53(7) was submitted to the Authority in that Salt filed the tariff in the prescribed manner with the Authority for approval.
2. All pertinent information as required by section 53(9) was submitted to the Authority such as:
3. 2.1 The rates and charges for services, including all deposits, non-recurring charges and monthly charges;
4. 2.2 The terms and conditions applicable to the provision of services by Salt, including rights and remedies available to customers in the event of unauthorized charges or other disputes or claims over billing or the provision of services, and any other information requested by the Authority pursuant to this section.
5. The date of implementation was indicated as 1 November 2015 (which date is not less than 60 days from the date of the filling of the tariff) as required by section 53(8) of the Act. On the 11 th September 2015 the Authority send a letter to Salt requesting additional information to which Salt Essential responded on 29 September 2015.

2. PROCEDURAL COMPLIANCE

The proposed tariffs were published as General Notice No. 514 in the Government Gazette No. 5867 dated 2 November 2015 in terms of Regulation 8 of the 'Regulations Regarding the Submission of Interconnection Agreements and Tariffs' published in Government Gazette No. 4714 of 18 May 2011.

3. FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONVERGED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS (PTY) LTD PURE TARIFFS

The tariff information is as follows:

Table 1: Proposed Tariffs

Name	Service	Wholesale Transfer Price/ Month N$ monthly (Excl VAT)
Pure 500	512k up/512 down	1,500.00
Pure 1000	1024 up/1024k down	2,900.00
Pure 2000	2048 up/2048k down	5,000.00
Pure 3000	3072 up/3072 down	7,500.00

Pure 5000	5120 up/5120 down	12,500.00
Cost of CPE Once Off		7,250.00

CPE lease	375.00p/m x 24 months
Installation Once Off	1,500.00

Table 2: Tariff Comparison

OPERATOR	PRODUCT	CAP- GIG	UPLOAD/ DOWNLOAD SPEED -Kbps	RETAIL PRICE- N$/ MONTH	CONTRACT PERIOD
CTS	Pure	Unlimited	2048/2048	5,000.00	12 months
Paratus	Professional	80GB	2048/4096	1,680.00	24 months
CTS	WIMAX Busi- ness	100GB	1024/2048	1,950.00	12 months
Africa Online	WIMAX	60 GB	1024/2048	3,499.00	12 months

The tariffs were compared with WiMAX tariffs from Paratus Telecommunications (Pty) Ltd, previously submitted tariffs for CTS and MWireless (Pty) Ltd t/a Africa Online. The comparisons are difficult since the tariffs are based on different up- and download speeds and the Paratus Telecom tariffs are valid for a 24-month contract period. All the other products are capped whereas this product has unlimited data usage.

The tariffs are not deemed anti-competitive and are not unreasonably discriminatory in that:

1. They do not prevent, restrict or distort competition in the market for the supply of telecommunications;
2. There is no abuse of individual or collective dominant position by CTS for the supply of telecommunications in respect hereof;
3. There is no restrictive practice or activity whose anti-competitive effects outweigh its procompetitive effective.

All requirements in terms of section 53 of the Act that deals with the approval of tariffs have been adhered to in that:

1. All pertinent information as required by section 53(7) was submitted to the Authority in that CTS filed the tariff in the prescribed manner with the Authority for approval.
2. All pertinent information as required by section 53(9) was submitted to the Authority such as:
3. 2.1 The rates and charges for services, including all deposits, non-recurring charges and monthly charges; and
4. 2.2 The terms and conditions applicable to the provision of services by CTS, including rights and remedies available to customers in the event of unauthorized charges or other disputes or claims over billing or the provision of services, and any other information requested by the Authority pursuant to this section.
5. The date of implementation was indicated as 15 December 2015 (which date is not less than 60 days from the date of the filling of the tariff) as required by section 53(8) of the Act.

4. DECISION

The Authority herewith approved the proposed tariffs for broadband wireless network (PURE) tariffs as submitted by Converged Telecommunications Solutions (Pty) Ltd for implementation effective from 15 December 2015.

The product is a VSAT product aimed at farmers and lodges. One of the advantages of the product is that it can handle up to 2 voice calls, best effort. This means quality of service cannot be guaranteed on a voice call since it is a satellite call.

The price was compared to other VSAT products in the market. There are a number of other operators providing VSAT services in the market such as MWireless (Pty) Ltd t/a Africa Online, Telecom Namibia Limited and MTN Business Namibia (Pty) Ltd.

The retail prices are Telecom Namibia's uncapped VSAT offering by 94%.

As Paratus Telecom is not a dominant operator they thus are not required to offer reseller discounts according to section 51(2) of the Act. The 10% discount offered is thus voluntary.

VSAT services are further offered by three other licensees (Africa Online, MTN and Telecom Namibia) - all based on their own infrastructure. This service segment is thus sufficiently competitive and therefore the Authority does not have to intervene on wholesale prices. The bi-annual data submission by operators for June 2015 further indicated that Telecom Namibia is the main provider of VSAT services in Namibia with 337 subscribers. SALT was the only other licensee indicating that it had VSAT subscribers.

The Authority therefore resolved to approve both retail and wholesale prices. Wholesale prices may be reviewed at a later stage should complaints be raised by access seeking licensees and if Telecom is found to be dominant for VSAT services. The latter would require a review of market definitions and defining VSAT services as a separate market.

The tariffs are not deemed anti-competitive and are not unreasonably discriminatory in that:

1. They do not prevent, restrict or distort competition in the market for the supply of telecommunications;
2. There is no abuse of individual or collective dominant position by Paratus Telecom for the supply of telecommunications in respect hereof; and
3. There is no restrictive practice or activity whose anti-competitive effects outweigh its procompetitive effects.

All requirements in terms of section 53 of the Act that deals with the approval of tariffs have been adhered to:

1. All pertinent information as required by section 53(9) was submitted to the Authority in that Telecom filed the tariff in the prescribed manner with the Authority for approval.
2. All pertinent information as required by section 53(9) was submitted to the Authority such as:
3. 2.1 The rates and charges for services, including all deposits, non-recurring charges and monthly charges as indicated above;
