Question 25/III - General charging and accounting principles to be
applied to two-way multiple access international telecommunication
services via satellite (continuation of Question 23/III studies which
have been examined during the 1985-1988 study period)

(This Question must be studied in liaison with Study Group I.)

Reasons for the study

Considering

(a) the following three main multidestination service categories:

- one-way point to multipoint service,

- one-way multipoint to point service,

- two-way multiple access service;

(b) the results achieved by the CCITT in the field of definition and
charging for point to multipoint telecommunication services via
satellite, services which are the subject of Recommendations in F and D-
Series;

(c) the progress expected in the field of definition for other
multidestination telecommunication services, in particular for two-way
multiple access services;

(d) the needs expressed by the customers in order to get, at regional as
well as world level, two-way multiple access services,

What charging and accounting principles are appropriate for two-way
multiple access services via satellite?1
