Key elements
Circuit charge
Represents 40% of the local cost of connecting an NREN to GÉANT
Typically the average cost of the two cheapest links to the local PoP
Accommodates leased circuit or annualised fibre + transmission
costs
Adjusted to reflect the access capacity used by the NREN
Approx 19% of costs recovered
Bandwidth charge
Represents the total capacity of IP and circuit services (excluding
Lambdas) used by the NREN
Approx 81% of costs recovered
Discounts
Applied to reflect absence of resilience
Adjustments to reflect local context
Voting rights based on GDP (PPP)
+40%/-40% adjustment

Practical considerations
Maintaining stable budgets
Capping change at +3.5%
Transparency and reduction of admin
In-year changes
Calculation engine planned
Model starts in April 2013
To be adjusted and approved annually
Lambda services are outside of the model
More directly comparable to commercial services
Pricing is market-driven rather than cost-based
