ITU Settlements

In the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) settlement process, the traffic originator reports traffic to all transiting and terminating operators. Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the ITU is an international organization within which governments and the private sector coordinate global telecom networks and services.

For example, between two network operators with direct or indirect access to each other, traffic is measured and priced according to their agreement negotiated within the framework of ITU rules. Prices are based on Total Accounting Rate (TAR). The rate consists of origin, transit and destination portions. Each operator renders monthly declarations of traffic sent to the other operator. Settlements typically occur on a quarterly basis.

The last mile has been largely ignored, as there is usually only one local company. Now that competition is imminent, the last mile compensation will likely become a hot topic.
