The MPT already charges for the allocation and holding of telephone numbers. Charges are LAK500 (US$ 0.062) for each fixed service number in operation and LAK 1000 (US$0.125) for each WLL or mobile service number allocated.At these prices and on the understanding that at the end of 2014, there are about 65,000 fixed wireline services in operation (MPT data), 390,000 WLL numbers allocated and 15.6 million mobile numbers allocated, the revenue generated is LAK 1.982 billion.
However, charging on the basis of ‘numbers in service’:
• requires data from the operators which would be difficult to verify; and
• does not provide an incentive for operators to be efficient with their use of numbers.
It would be more straightforward for MPT to either charge for numbers on the basis of allocated number blocks or not to charge for numbers if the charging required data from operators.
At this pricing the charge is a partial offset of the costs of the administration regime although the arrangements do not specify any administration or tax components.
