The National Commission for Communications Regulation (NCCR) has recommended that operators, which interconnection contracts expired, ensure the provision of all types of telecommunications services to subscribers before new contracts are signed, the regulator has said.

"Taking into account that fact that when the interaction breaks down, the provision of telecommunications services (including access to emergency services) is terminated, until the conclusion of new cooperation contracts, we recommend that telecommunications operators ensure the transmission of all types of calls between their networks in the public telecommunications network of general use to provide consumers with high-quality telecommunications services," the regulator said on its website.

The NCCR also said that no Ukrainian licensee can unilaterally break off the interaction with the telecommunications network of another operator. If the operators do not agree on the interaction of their telecommunications networks, they have the right to send the dispute to the NCCR for settlement.
