Question 9/III - General tariff and accounting principles for the
different public data communication network interworking options
(continuation of Question 9/III studied in 1985-1988)

(To be studied in liaison with Study Groups I and VII.)

What Recommendations are appropriate to guide the development of tariff
principles for services that involve interworking between different
types of public network?

Reasons for the study

For the study of this Question, attention should be given to the
following items:

1. An ongoing review of the requirement for guiding principles resulting
from the possible provision of international public data network
services offered by means of interworking between networks (e.g. packet
and circuit).

2. Possible development of guiding principles allow the Working Parties
studying interworking tariff options to address interworking within
specific service applications in a cohesive and unified manner. Guiding
principles are also of assistance to other Study Groups where the study
of interworking forms part of their work programmes.
