ITU OB 729-E / 5

Approval of new ITU-T Recommendation E.169.2

Application of ITU-T Recommendation E.164 numbering plan for universal international premium rate numbers for the international premium rate service

Note from TSB

New draft ITU-T Recommendation E.169.2 was approved by the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA – 2000) held in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) from 27 September to 6 October 2000.

The International Premium Rate Service (IPRS) enables an information service provider (ISP) in a given country to be assigned one or more universal international premium rate numbers (UIPRNs), which enable IPRS callers to access information and other services provided by the ISP. Callers to such numbers are charged at a premium rate. Detailed charging and accounting principles are defined in the ITU-T D-series Recommendations. In some cases, callers may need to subscribe to the IPRS with the IPRS-originating ROA and/or with the ISP.

ITU-T Recommendation E.155 sets out the service description and procedures for the implementation, operation and management of the IPRS, which is provided on a managed basis by a recognized operating agency (ROA) in the country of an information service provider, in conjunction with an ROA (or ROAs) in the country of the caller.

Through the availability of the IPRS, a wide range of products offered by information service providers in one country can be made available to callers in another country. Examples of such products could include:

• access to recorded information services (speech, facsimile or data);

• access to interactive services (speech, facsimile or data);

• access to special offers (promotions), competitions and opinion surveys.

The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) has been appointed to serve as the Registrar for UIPRNs.

Working Party 1 / 2 , at its October 2000 meeting in Berlin (Germany), decided that the official announcement of UIPRN registration procedures will be made on 3 January 2001. Acceptance of UIPRN applications will commence on 2 April 2001, with initial assignments being made as from 7 May 2001.

The ITU-T Recommendation E.169.2 is published in English only, and is available on the web at http://www.tuu.int/itudoc/itu-t/approved/e/index.html.

Legal Time

Forthcoming changes in legal time communicated to the ITU Headquarters

Note from the ITU 1. The legal time UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) has been used to designate the time in international telecommunication services. Each year, the periodic changes in legal time occur in some countries and geographical areas (i.e. the periods of validity of daylight saving time). For many years, these temporary changes in legal time, introduced in certain countries and geographical areas on variable dates, have been brought to the attention of all Administrations/ROAs by the ITU Operational Bulletin, well before the date of application. 2. Administrations/ROAs concerned are therefore kindly requested to notify the ITU Headquarters without delay of any decisions adopted at government level for 2001 regarding the temporary changes in basic legal time. 3. The next recapitulatory tables on changes in legal time will be published in the months of February and August 2001. Information to be included in the table should reach the ITU not later than 7 February 2001 and 7 August 2001, respectively.

Assignment of Signalling Area/Network Codes (SANC) (ITU-T Recommendation Q.708 (03/99))
