This methodology document describes the economic methodological choices applied in NITA's model, consequently increasing transparency in the methodology used to evaluate offers and price plans for bundles. These methodological choices are based on international best practices regarding the use of margin squeeze tests in the electronic communications markets, detailed economic evaluations and specific considerations of the Danish marketplace. During the consultation on the draft analyses of market 4 (wholesale physical network infrastructure access) and market 5 (wholesale broadband access) in 2008 it was brought to NITA's attention that there might exist competitive problems surrounding margin squeeze in broadband products in the Danish telecoms market. Based on this background information NITA has decided develop a tool that enables NITA to monitor the competitive margin in the Danish telecoms market, especially with regard to broadband products. The aim of this exercise is to ensure that competitors facing the incumbent operator TDC will be duly able to compete in the market. The set of documents can be found on the websites of both SVP and NITA (for access to NITA's website follow link below): Methodology for assessment of margin squeeze NITA
