2、BILE SERVICE ITU-T Recommendation D.90 (Previously “CCIT Recommendation”) ITU-T RECMN*D-SO 95 D 4862591 Ob00896 224 FOREWORD The ITU-T (Telecommunication Standardization Sector) is a permanent organ of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). 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, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in

4、 their turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of Recommendations by the Members of the ITLJ-T is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). ITU-T Recommendation D.90 was revised by ITU-T Study Group 3 (1993-1996) and was approved un

5、der the WTSC Resolution No. 1 procedure on the 20th of March 1995. NOTES 1. In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration” is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecom- munication administration and a recognized operating agency. Should there be any conflict regarding the time scale i

6、n this Recommendation and those stated in Appendix 2 of the International Telecommunication Regulations then the latter would prevail. 2. O ITU 1995 All rights reserved.

Land Station Operator (LSO) - A

16、n entity which operates a Land Station in the Maritime Mobile Service. This 1.2.5 Maritime mobile station - This term is used to include a maritime mobile satellite station, and in the context of billing refers to the Licensee, equating to the use of the term customer in the terrestrial service.

22、ional matter. 3.1.2 The collection charges may take account of the following elements: a) the nationavinternational (if applicable) link = the landline; b) the land station; c) d) For communication between a maritime mobile station and a country other than that of the land station the space segment

23、(if applicable); any special services or facilities. 3.1.3 (cases 3,4): 3.1.3.1 relation concerned for the services used. The international land line charges shall normally be the collection charges applicable in the international 3.1.3.2 land station. Service providers may choose to establish a com

24、bined collection charge covering both the landline and the 3.1.4 Communications between maritime mobile stations: 3.1.4.1 When a single land station is used as an intermediary between maritime mobile stations, two maritime land station charges are collected. If the land station charge applicable to

25、traffic with the origin maritime mobile station is different from that applicable to traffic with the destination maritime mobile station, the sum of these two charges is collected. 3.1.4.2 When it is necessary to use two land stations in different countries as intermediaries between two maritime mo

26、bile stations (case 6), the landline charge for the section between the two land stations (normally the collection charge applicable in the intemational relation concerned for the service used) is collected in addition to the two land station charges. 3.1.4.3 When it is necessary to use two land sta

27、tions in the same country as intermediary between two maritime mobile stations a national landline charge between the two land stations is collected in addition to the two land station charges. 3.1.5 If authorised to do so by its licensing Administration, a maritime mobile station may collect on boa

28、rd a fee from users, for the use of facilities provided, in addition to the service providers collection charges. Such a fee will be retained by the maritime mobile station. The licensing Administration may set an upper limit to these.fees. 3.2 Publication of collection charges by the ITU 3.2.1 The

29、landline and land station charges shall be notified by the service provider to the Radiocommunication Bureau in the unit of the IMF, currently the SDR (Special Drawing Right), or in Gold Francs which is the equivalent to U3.061 SDR (1 SDR = 3.061 GFcs). 3.2.2 of Coast Stations. The landline and land

30、 station charges notified to the Radiocommunication Bureau will be published in the List 3.2.3 For countries that have not introduced banded collection charges for international services, only a limited number of charges, for routes in frequent use, will be published. In such cases, the Radiocommuni

31、cation Bureau will need to be informed which charges should be published. 2 Recommendation D.90 (03/95) ITU-T RECMN*D*SO 95 W 4862593 Ob00900 585 = 3.2.4 Maritime mobile stations must be aware of the collection charges. They are authorized, where necessary, to obtain such information directly from l

32、and stations. Charges furnished by land stations should be expressed either in SDRs or in Gold Francs (see 3.2.1 above). 3.3 Changes to collection charges 3.3.1 New or modified collection charges shall not come into effect for international traffic for countries other than the one which establishes

33、the charges until the first day of the month following expiry of the period specified below. The period will be counted from the day after the publication date of the ITU Operational Bulletin which contains this notification. Service providers providing information for publication in the Operational

34、 Bulletin should observe the deadlines indicated in the Bulletin in forwarding this information to the Radiocommunication Bureau. 3.3.2 The period to be taken into account is as follows: a) for traffic from maritime mobile station to land: I month and 15 days; b) for traffic from land to maritime mo

35、bile station: 15 days, except for changes to bring charges into line with those on competing routes where the period is 10 days. 3.4 Special charging arrangements 3.4.1 Communications of immediate general interest ( including safety and distress) No charge is raised, against the maritime mobile stat

36、ion, for transmission in the maritime mobile service provided that the communications are : distress calls/messages or replies to such calls/messages; messages originating in maritime mobile stations requiring shore rescue authority support, e.g. man over- board, oil pollution or piracy attack; mess

37、ages originating in maritime mobile stations notifying the presence of dangers to navigation (e.g. icebergs, derelicts, mines) or announcing cyclones, storms or fog; messages originating in maritime mobile stations notifying sudden changes in the position of buoys, the working of lighthouses, device

38、s connected with buoy age etc.; or messages originating in martime mobile stations notifying unexpected phenomena threatening air navigation or the sudden occurrence of obstacles at airports or special landingherthing places at sea, Any land station and landline charges for Safety and Distress commu

39、nications will be billed to the appropriate shore authority. 3.4.2 Communications relating to medical advice No charge is raised against the originating maritime mobile station for communications using the maritime mobile service which relate to medical advice provided that: a) they are exchanged di

40、rectly between maritime mobile stations and either Land Stations shown in the List of Radiodetermination and Special Service Stations as providing such a service, or Land Earth Stations which offer the service; and b) they are addressed in accordance with the conditions published in the above List,

41、or as specificied by the satellite service operator. Any land station and landline charges for medical advice communications will be billed to the appropriate shore authority. 3.4.3 Meteorological communications Charges for meteorological communications are a national matter.
