Telecom access refusal: prepare the regulator dossier
An access-refusal application needs a specific legal right, a defined service and evidence of unsuccessful negotiations. Record the requested technical and financial terms, refusals and exact determination sought. France’s regulator competence must be assessed separately from Switzerland’s initial-access and civil execution routes. The dossier organises the applicable prerequisites and evidence; it does not assume that every operator disagreement creates a statutory entitlement to access.

Which national authority can determine this dispute?
France: L36-8 defines specified Arcep disputes rather than every customer complaint. Switzerland: distinguish ComCom’s relevant initial-determination role from OFCOM’s separate co-use powers and the civil route; one authority cannot be assumed competent for every disagreement.

What dominance or other statutory prerequisites apply to this route?
France: establish the statutory prerequisites relevant to the requested service and evidence. Switzerland: dominance under LTC 11 differs from interoperability under LTC 21a and the other routes; neither an operator’s name nor generic market vocabulary proves every prerequisite.

Which exact determination is sought from the regulator?
France: state the exact conditions or measures sought within the competent framework. Switzerland: connect the requested determination with the chosen statutory power; a clear proposal supports examination but does not establish the outcome or confer jurisdiction.

What procedural documents and evidence support the application?
France: prepare chronology, exhibits and procedural documents under the applicable dated rules. Switzerland: OST 70 identifies elements of the relevant access application; the worksheet does not replace branch-specific filing conditions or certify a complete admissible request.

When does the dispute instead concern execution of an existing agreement or decision?
France: specified conclusion or execution disputes may fall under L36-8, depending on their demands. Switzerland: LTC 11b concerns civil disputes relating to agreements or access decisions. Separate initial condition-setting, execution and contractual comparison instead of treating them as one proceeding.
