FOREWORD
The CCITT (the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative
Committee) is a permanent organ of the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU). CCITT is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff
questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing
telecommunications on a worldwide basis.
The Plenary Assembly of CCITT which meets every four years, establishes
the topics for study and approves Recommendations prepared by its Study Groups.
The approval of Recommendations by the members of CCITT between Plenary
Assemblies is covered by the procedure laid down in CCITT Resolution No. 2
(Melbourne, 1988).
Recommendation D.192 was prepared by Study Group III and was approved
under the Resolution No. 2 procedure on the 15 of July 1991.

conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication Administration and a recognized
private operating agency.

Recommendation D.192
Recommendation D.192
PRINCIPLES FOR CHARGING AND ACCOUNTING
OF SERVICE TELECOMMUNICATIONS
The CCITT,
considering
(a) that according to Article 29 of the Convention of the International
Telecommunication Union (Nice, 1989) the various cases in which free services are
accorded are set forth in the Administrative Regulations;
(b) that the term "service telecommunication" is defined in Article 2,
point 2.4 of the International Telecommunications Regulations (Melbourne, 1988);
(c) that according to Appendix 3, point 1.1 to the International
Telecommunication Regulations, Administrations may provide service
telecommunications free of charge;
(d) that according to the same appendix, point 1.2, Administrations may in
principle forego inclusion of service telecommunications in international
accounting, under the relevant provisions of the International Telecommunication
Convention and the International Telecommunication Regulations, having due regard
for the need for reciprocal arrangements,
considering furthermore
(e) that service telecommunications may be provided by Administrations
either via an operator or via the automatic service;
(f) that some Administrations may be able to identify all automatic service
telecommunications while others may not;
(g) that the practice has been for some Administrations to deduct all
service telecommunications from the international accounts while others do not,
noting
(h) that the service definitions and the operational aspects of service
telecommunications are covered in the relevant E- and F-Series Recommendations
for the various telecommunication services,
recommends
for all types of service telecommunications, to apply the following
charging and accounting principles:
1 Charging
Administrations may provide service telecommunications free of charge.
2 Accounting
2.1 In principle, all traffic representing service telecommunications whether
established via an operator or via the automatic service may be excluded from the
international accounts.
2.2 However, Administrations who do not wish to forego their accounting share
related to the incoming service telecommunications traffic shall notify the
General Secretariat of the ITU specifying the services concerned. Besides
publishing the text of such notifications in the Operational Bulletin, the Union
will keep and publish periodically an updated list of notified restrictions.
