====== Backhaul Network Pricing ======


===== New Zealand =====
{{ :good-practice:chorus_nz_2020.png?direct&200|}} As of October 2020, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorus_Limited|Chorus Limited]], a wholesale infrastructure provider in New Zealand began offering a product called [[https://sp.chorus.co.nz/product/edgeconnect/overview|EdgeConnect]] allows ISPs to peer at the [[https://ix.nz/|Auckland Internet Exchange]]  from any local telephone exchange in the country. Standard prices are available for same district, same island, or different island connections.

In March of 2019, the Dutch regulator [[https://www.capacitymedia.com/Articles/3823393 | compelled Vodafone]] to publish its wholesale access rates or face a one million Euro fine.

===== Botswana =====

The regulator in Botswana (BOCRA) published a rate card in  [[https://www.bocra.org.bw/sites/default/files/documents/Telecommunications%20and%20ICT%20Prices.pdf|2014]] and [[https://www.bocra.org.bw/sites/default/files/Tarrif%20Pdf%27s/CORRECTION_OF_WHOLESALE_PRICES_AS_AT_END_SEPTEMBER_2015.pdf|2015]] for access to the national fibre optic backbone. Granted this is a state-owned network which removes the complication of negotiating with the private sector but even if we just succeeded with state-owned networks, this would be a big leap forward. 

===== West Africa UEMOA =====
