Cells and Units
• Cell sizes vary.• Could lead to differential pricing.• Mariner is familiar and happy with
the “Paper Chart” in terms of:– Coverage– Value for money
• IC-ENC therefore groups cells into paper chart equivalent Units.
Pricing • IC-ENC is operated on a “not for profit” basis.
• Operational costs are funded through a deferred cost recovery mechanism.
• IC-ENC retains a fixed amount for each ENC unit that it sells to its VARs.
• This fee is capped at $5, so an HO that sets a wholesale price of $12 will receive $7 for each sale that a VAR makes.
