	communication services

Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles

Version : Revised

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


Recommendation D.10 sets out the general principles and conditions 
applicable by Administrations to data communication services over 
international public networks dedicated to this type of communication. 
It is recognized that this is a rapidly developing field at the 
present time in terms of the diversity of application and flexibility 
is therefore essential.

Recommendation D.10 does not apply to leased circuits for private use 
(see Recommendation D.1).

A public data communication service is a data communication service 
established and operated by an Administration by means of a public 
data network dedicated to this type of communication. 

Recommendation D.10 precises the general principles for charging 
(tariff components, factors which may be taken into account in 
developing tariffs), the procedures applicable to accounting 
(accounting rates, gathering of information) and to the interworking 
of public data communication services (general principles, collection 
charges, accounting).
