The new demand for telecoms traffic data. From MiTT to maps

Telecommunications Policy, 1996, vol. 20, issue 8, 623-631

Abstract: Competition among multiple wired and wireless carriers is creating a new demand for telecommunications traffic statistics because future interconnection charges will be traffic sensitive, at least in part. Traffic data are also needed by Internet service providers as new applications (eg telephony) prompt a revision of peering (bill-and-keep) arrangements for exchanging traffic. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) offer an attractive computerbased platform for Integrating telecomms traffic data with other geodemographic variables of interest to carriers and users.
