Abstract (2. Language): 
In order to promote competition in the field of communication, efficient regulations are required. Interconnection is one of the most important issues in regulation of communication sector. In communications sector, the subject that operators and regulatory authorities mostly encounter is about the interconnection rates and indirectly the interconnection costs. There is a big dispute about optimum interconnection price especially in some countries where calling party pay principle is applied. Bill and Keep has become a current issue as an alternative to the currently used regime Calling Party Pays. Also choosing the interconnection charging mechanism to be applied and determining the level of call termination rates is very important. In this context, optimum interconnection rate is explained in this study.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Elektronik haberleşme sektöründe rekabetin sağlanması için etkin düzenlemelerin yapılması gerekmektedir. Yapılan düzenlemelerden arabağlantı konusu haberleşme sektörünün en önemli konularının başında gelmektedir. Haberleşme sektöründe işletmecilerin ve regülasyon kurumlarının en çok karşı karşıya geldikleri husus; arabağlantı ücretlerinin, dolaylı olarak da arabağlantı maliyetlerinin ne olması gerektiğidir. Özellikle Arayan Taraf Öder prensibinin benimsendiği ülkelerde optimum arabağlantı ücreti konusunda önemli tartışmalar mevcuttur. Faturala ve Sakla arabağlantı ücretlendirme yöntemi de halihazırda yaygın bir şekilde kullanılan Arayan Taraf Öder arabağlantı ücretlendirme yönteminin bir alternatifi olarak gündeme gelmektedir. Bu kapsamda, arabağlantı ücretlendirme yönteminin seçimi ve seçilen yöntem uyarınca arabağlantı ücretlerinin nasıl ve hangi seviyede belirleneceği hususları da önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada optimum arabağlantı ücretinin ne olması gerektiğine ilişkin değerlendirmelerde bulunulmaktadır.
