		      ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY


Rec. No. : D.60

Title :	Guiding principles to govern the apportionment of accounting 
	rates in intercontinental telex relations

Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles

Version : Revised

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


In an intercontinental telex relation, the bilateral or multilateral 
agreement between the Administrations concerned should normally 
establish the same accounting rate for both directions of the 
relation regardless of the route utilized.

A direct relation is one between two terminal Administrations where 
traffic is routed over direct circuits, that is, over circuits 
provided for the exclusive use of the terminal Administrations.

A transit relation is a relation between two terminal Administrations 
where traffic is routed by switching in an international transit 
exchange(s) located in a country or countries other than the country 
of origin or the country of destination.

Recommendation D.60 establishes the principles of apportionment of 
accounting rates in these two types of relation.
