ANNEX A ILLUSTRATION OF CATEGORIES OF ACCESS SERVICES The following categories of services are offered as an illustration of the kinds of common Access Services this Directive apply to, unless otherwise determined by the Authority. Some of these services may include sharing the right of way of the Access Provider. COLLOCATION 1) Collocation: A service where the provider makes available space in its network infrastructure, facilities, or premises, to an Access Seeker. An Access Seeker usually has 24-hour, seven (7) days per week access to the collocation space or room to install, operate, and maintain its own telecommunications transmission equipment. Collocation services may be offered in various modes: a) Dedicated Collocation: Where an Access Provider provides a custom-built dedicated, separated, and secured, space for the installation of an Access Seeker’s telecommunications equipment. b) Adjacent Collocation: Where an Access Provider provides space to an Access Seeker in an enclosed space, but separated structure, within or near, the site boundary of its existing facility. c) Distant Collocation: Where an Access Provider provides space to an Access Seeker in an enclosed space, but at a distant location, from the boundaries of its existing facility. d) Co-mingling: Where an Access Provider provides Access Seekers with floor space or space within a rack, to place their equipment next to each-other. e) Virtual Colocation: Where an Access Provider gives an Access Seeker the ability to connect to an Access Provider’s services without physical access to a collocation space. An Access Seeker provides its own transmission equipment or leases it from an Access Provider. The Access Provider handles the installation, operation and maintenance, of the equipment. An Access Seeker does not have physical access to the virtual collocation space or the equipment, but can electronically monitor and control such equipment communications. PASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE 2) Passive Infrastructure Services: Includes various types of services that provide access to infrastructure that is not part of the active layer of a Telecommunications Network. The following examples are provided as an illustration. a) Access to Ducts: Refers to access to conduits or pipes, that enclose underground telecommunications cables. These ducts protect the cables, and enable installing or pulling additional cables without further digging. Access to ducts may include access to associated infrastructure, such as, manholes, handholes, or buildings. It may also include access to power and air conditioning services. 16
