Introduction 1. Legal background As per EU Roaming Regulation III. effective from 1st July 2012, Mobile Network Operators must offer Wholesale Direct Access and Resale Access for Access Seekers on the territory of the EU/EEA countries for mobile roaming- • voice calls, • SMSs, and • data services made within EU member states. The provision of these services to other directions outside the area of the EU/EEA countries or other types of wholesale services are not covered by the roaming regulation, but can be subject to commercial negotiations. This document is to define a Reference Offer for Wholesale Direct Access and Resale Access. This document contains reference to GSMA standards used generally in roaming agreements. Points of the Reference Offer takes into consideration the BEREC Guideline of BoR (12) 107.

They are likely to lease part of their radio spectrum to other parties for telecom operations. - “MVNO heavy/light” is a network enabler that does provide (mobile) phone services but does not own a licensed radio spectrum nor does it necessarily has the entire infrastructure required to provide these services. However, they do have a direct customer relationship with the end user. “Heavy” MVNO’s do own a large part of the network infrastructure (e.g. HLR/MSC, Switching, Billing platforms) and primarily rely on the MNO for renting the radio spectrum by means of purchasing wholesale “minutes”. “Light” MVNOs have direct customer relationship but rely on MNOs to provide large part of infrastructure – their own infrastructure mainly includes retail billing. 4 Wholesale Roaming Access – Reference offer Vodafone Hungary Telecommunication Ltd. 2.
