Contrary to what may be observed with regard to relations depending on
land circuits, the distance factor has little effect on the cost of the
facilities used to set up satellite links. Nevertheless, it is generally
desirable for a number of reasons (uniformity of rates regardless of the
transmission medium used, concept of service rendered, political
considerations,\ etc.) to establish a rates system based on distance in
relations using these transmission facilities, i.e. to apply the same scale
of collection charges as in relations established on land transmission
systems.

When the traffic unit price procedure is used, the accounting rate
share might initially be fixed as indicated below; however, this share
represents a maximum which Administrations undertake not to exceed:

Share per minute: 4\ gold francs.

This share covers only the path between the satellite and the
international exchange (excluding that exchange). The shares
for the international exchange and the national extension,
as laid down in \(sc\ 2, should therefore be added.

The share of 4\ gold francs per minute mentioned above is based
on the assumption that the earth station provides 60\ circuits,
each of which handles an average of 40 | 00\ minutes of
conversation time per year. On the same assumption, the cost
of the space segment (1/2\ circuit) has been fixed at 15 | 00\ gold
