Telecommunications Termination Services

Telecommunications termination services in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: services provided by one telecommunications network to another to allow a caller in one network to talk to a caller in another network. This is done through interconnection. Calls between two networks consist of three stages: (a) transporting the call to the terminating or destination network, (b) providing an entry point or gateway to the terminating network and (c) forwarding the call to its final destination. The latter two make up the termination service. The price charged by the second network for this service is called the accounting rate.[1]
