Distinctive arrangements for international interconnection?

Douglas A Galbi

Telecommunications Policy, 1998, vol. 22, issue 11, 945-951

Abstract: An issue of growing importance in telecommunications policy is the relationship between interconnection for domestic and international telephony. While international telephony's need for international transport is an inherent distinction, that factor will not determine distinctions in interconnection arrangements. Under the existing pricing structure for telephony, crossborder rent shifting is the key issue. Innovations in the pricing structure for telephony, whether through Internet telephony or other avenues, offer the potential for changing the structure of interconnection negotiations and eliminating distinctions between international and domestic telephony interconnection.
