Rec. No. : D.7

Title :	Concept and implementation of "one-stop shopping" for 
	international private leased telecommunication circuits

Study Group : III - Tariff and Accounting Principles

Version : New

Date of adoption : 1992

Notes :	


Recommendation D.7 provides the general principles and procedures for 
the implementation of "one-stop shopping" (OSS) for international 
private leased telecommunication circuits (IPLC).

OSS is an optional set of arrangements whereby an Administration (the 
coordinating Administration) handles coordination between a customer 
and other Administration(s) concerned [the participating 
Administration(s) in order to make it simpler for the customer leasing 
international private leased telecommunication circuits.

Recognizing on one hand that each Administration's internal procedures 
and billing processes are different and on the other hand that OSS 
procedures should be harmonized as much as possible, 
Recommendation D.7 is only a guide to be used by Administrations 
cooperating in the provision of OSS. Details of procedures should be 
agreed among the Administrations concerned.

The implementation of the OSS arrangement requires close coordination 
among the Administrations concerned at all levels, commercial and 
administrative, as well as technical. The Administrations concerned 
should endeavour to meet all the specific requirements of the 
customer including the choice of participating Administration(s).

Recommendation D.7 encompasses the features of the OSS arrangement 
(single-point ordering, billing, fault reporting) the terms and 
conditions for the provision/cancellation of the lease, the way 
in which inter-Administration settlements are made, the procedure 
in case of allowance for service interruption.
