Joint Venture
One of the problems faced by Open Access is what is a fair price. Consider the Iron Ore minnow BC Iron which seeks access to the Forstescue railway. (Fortescue has declared itself to be an open access operator).
BC Iron and Fortescue agreed to set up a joint venture to operate both the BCI mine and the railway connection to the port. As the larger player, Fortescue will run the show. The joint venture gives BC Iron inside information as to how much the railway and port will cost, while Fortescue gains inside information about the mine.

Famous quotes containing the words joint and/or venture:
“I conjure thee, and all the oaths which I
And thou have sworn to seal joint constancy,
Here I unswear, and overswear them thus,
Thou shalt not love by ways so dangerous.
Temper, O fair Love, love’s impetuous rage,
Be my true Mistress still, not my feign’d Page;
I’ll go, and, by thy kind leave, leave behind
Thee, only worthy to nurse in my mind
Thirst to come back;”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.”
—Victoria (1819–1901)
