8.26

                A Service Provider may levy a Surcharge on Users of Incremental Capacity provided the following principles apply:

            (a)         the Surcharges are designed to recover only that part of the New Facilities Investment that satisfies the requirement in section 8.16(a)(i);

            (b)         the costs that the Surcharges are designed to recover do not include any costs that are included in the Speculative Investment Fund; and

            (c)         the structure of the Surcharges reflect a fair and reasonable sharing of the total recoverable cost between Incremental Users (and for this purpose any User who is paying a Capital Contribution should be assumed to be paying a Surcharge).

        [Section 8.26 amended: Gazette 2 May 2003 p. 1526.]
