		      ITU-T RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY


Rec. No. : D.73

Title :	General tariff and international accounting principles for 
	interworking between the international bureaufax and telefax 
	services

Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles

Version : Revised

Date of adoption : 1992

Notes :	


Recommendation D.73 sets out the charging and international accounting 
principles applicable by Administrations for the transmission of 
facsimile documents in both directions between subscribers to the 
telefax service and public facsimile bureaux.

In determining the tariff principles to be applied to this service, 
consideration should be given to the structure and level of charges 
applicable to other international telecommunication services supplied 
by the Administrations concerned, and to the provisions of 
Recommendation D.5.

Charging principles

The originating Administration should charge either on a per page 
basis or on the normal call charge for the international network used.

International accounting principles

Generally speaking, accounting procedures for interworking between the 
international bureaufax and telefax services should be based on the 
same accounting rates and be effected in the same manner as for the 
calls set up normally on the international public network used. These 
facsimile calls are an integral part of the international accounts for 
the public network and should not give rise to any additional 
accounting measures between Administrations.

Recommendation D.73 also sets out the principles applicable to refunds 
and to service correspondence.
