INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY Rec. No. : D.67 Title : Charging and accounting in the international telex service Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles Version : Revised Date of adoption : 1991 Notes : Fixing of collection charges Each Administration shall, subject to the applicable provisions of national law, fix the charges to be collected from its customers. The level of charges is a national matter; however, in establishing them, Administrations should try to avoid too great a dissymmetry between the charges applicable in each direction of the same relation. International accounting Procedures relating to remuneration of Administrations of destination and transit countries are as follows: Destination Administrations will be remunerated by a procedure whereby the origin Administration keeps its revenue and remunerates the destination Administration for the facilities made available, including the international circuit, the international exchange and the national extension either: - on the basis of a flat-rate price per circuit (called the flat-rate price procedure); or - on the basis of traffic units carried (called the traffic-unit price procedure); In either case, the price will be fixed by the destination Administration; or - by a procedure whereby accounting revenue is shared between terminal Administrations (called the accounting revenue division procedure). - Transit Administrations will be remunerated for facilities made available, either: - by the flat-rate price procedure relating in the main to direct transit operations; or - by the traffic-unit price procedure relating in the main to switched transit operations. In either case, the price will be fixed by the transit Administration. To order the complete text of this Recommendation, please use the Order Form for ITU-T Recommendations.
