INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION
ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY
Rec. No. : D.40
Title : General tariff principles applicable to telegrams exchanged in
the international public telegram service
Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles
Version : Revised
Date of adoption : 1992
Notes :
Every telegram gives rise, at acceptance and on delivery, to fixed
costs which are practically the same for all telegrams, except for the
telegrams bearing the service indication "urgent", and, at
transmission, to costs which vary with the number of words. The per
word tariff system, under which each telegram is charged for
exclusively according to the number of words, makes no clear
distinction between these two types of cost. On the other hand, both
tariff components are taken into account in the binary telegraph
tariff system which consists of a rate per telegram, and a rate per
word, as indicated in º A.24 of Recommendation D.000.
Recommendation D.40 describes the two tariff systems, leaving to
Administrations the choice of the system they wish to apply.
Recommendation D.40 does not apply to telegrams for which accounting
rates and/or collection charges are established on another basis, and
for which the appropriate provisions are being drawn up separately.
