The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical,
3、operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommen- dations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, etablishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in t
4、heir turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the IT-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). ITU-T Recommendation D.501 R was revised by IT-T Study Group 3 (1993-1996) and was approved unde
5、r the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 6 October 1993. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency.

7、A AND OCEANIA (revised in 1993) When, in full exercise of their sovereignty, the Administrations of the countries in Asia and Oceania negotiate among themselves agreements to determine the accounting rates to be applied in their telex relations, it is recommended that they give consideration to the
8、provisions detailed below. 1 Determination of accounting rates applicable in telex relations between countries in Asia and Oceania 1.1 It is desirable to achieve some coordination and, as far as is possible, standardization of the accounting rates applicable in telex relations over similar distances
9、 between counties in Asia and Oceania. To this end, a scale of accounting rates has been established using the ?synthetic method? (see 2.1 of Supplement No. 1 to D-Series Recom- mendations), and taking into account: a) b) c) d) accounting rates already in use; the declining traffic volume and its im
10、plication on cost; that adjustment of telex accounting rates has not generally kept pace with the evolving environment; the desirability to confine rate standards to an indication of the maximum accounting rates applicable within the region. 1.2 It is recommended to adopt a distance-related zonal pa
11、ttern rather than to adhere to a rigid distance-based pattern. 1.3 In traffic relations where analytical cost data is available, such data should form the basis for bilateral negotiations as provided in the ITU Regulations and the relevant ITU-T Recommendations. However, where such data cannot be ma
12、de available, the following maximum accounting rates are recommended?): Zone Distance Maximum accounting rate per minute 1 O to 3000 km 0.87 SDR 2 3001 to 6000 km 1.20 SDR 3 over 6000 km 1.40 SDR 1.4 Notwithstanding the maximum accounting rate levels shown above, Administrations should endeavour to
13、achieve cost-orientated accounting rates. 1.5 The distances indicated in the above scale are those between the appropriate international exchanges in the originating and destination countries. 1.6 It is also recommended that each country should normally constitute a single area for the purpose of fi
14、xing accounting rates. However, in relations between adjacent countries, a country may be divided into several areas. In this case, the number of such areas for international traffic should be reduced to a minimum. 1.7 It is recognized that in some cases, such as transit switched services, Administr
15、ations may apply rates which reflect additonal costs. ?) The accounting rates given in this Recommendation are expressed in the monetary unit of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Special Drawing Right (SDR). in accordance with the International Telecommunication Regulations, the gold franc
16、is equivalent to 113.061 SDR. Recommendation D.501 R (10/93) 1 ITU-T RECNN*D-SOLR 73 4862573 0585497 43T 1.8 Administrations should seek to implement this Recommendation in an expeditious manner, recognizing that this may need to be done on a scheduled basis where the levei of reduction required is
17、significant. In the event of scheduling, Administrations should aim to implement this Recommendation before the end of 1996. 2 Frontier relations between countries in Asia and Oceania The accounting rates to be applied to frontier relations should be fixed by agreement between the Administrations concerned. 2 Recommendation D.501 R (10/93)
