International accounting rates: A different approach?

K. W. Sissons and J. Solomon

Telecommunications Policy, 1989, vol. 13, issue 2, 90-93

Abstract: The level of intercontinental accounting rates, especially for international telephone traffic, has become the focus of increasing interest because of their impact on settlements between international carriers and also because of the suggestion that they become the vehicle for aid to developing countries. This article examines past development of the accounting rate method and investigates why they cause difficulties for international carriers in the present environment. It suggests an alternative approach for achieving realistic accounting rate levels.
