               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.


                                        ___________________


                                       CCITT  NOTE
               In  this  Recommendation,  the  expression  "Administration"  is  used  for
         conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication Administration and a  recognized
         private operating agency.

         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.
