  11. STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 Definition of PPP Product Management, Policy and Planning (PPP) is a term given to the administrative costs incurred by BT as a result of providing narrowband services. Charges for narrowband interconnection services, therefore, have two components: a network based charge for the interconnection service provided over BT's network; and a PPP charge designed to recover BT's administrative costs of providing the narrowband interconnection service. There are two types of PPP charge: pence per minute ("ppm") - a fixed PPP charge for each interconnection minute; and FRIACO - a PPP charge per FRIACO port.

  22. STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 Product Overview - NTS Third Party Handover The service will apply both to BT originated and Communication Provider originated calls (transit calls). The product will be implemented by reassigning “whole” codes which currently point to the NTS code owner (if existing) to a Third Party Operator as specified in their routing plan. Product features are: Commercial arrangements between the third party operator and the NTS code owner will need to be agreed separately. BT’s commercial arrangements (apart from those for number portability) will be with the Third Party Operator only. The NTS code owner will retain their own porting obligations and porting relationship with BT.

STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 Pre-requisites BT will require that the TPO provides a letter of authority from the code owner to implement the relevant number range(s) on the interconnection between the TPO and BT. The NTS code owner must retain responsibility for their own porting obligations and porting relationship with BT. Interconnection will need to be maintained between the NTS Code owner and BT to meet number portability obligations. Any alterations to ported traffic interconnect routeings between BT and the NTS Code owner will need to be separately agreed. Available only to NTS code owners with established interconnect with BT or to new operators once they have established interconnect with BT (in order to meet portability obligations).

  25.

  26. STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 PPC Credit Vetting Update Charles Walker

  27. STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 CURRENT STATUS : Version 6.0 of the policy document was released on 13th September and included updates of agreed changes from the Industry consultation meeting of the 21st July and incorporation of some of the comments received from Operators subsequent to that meeting. Over the last few months we have been through a full and thorough consultation process with industry representatives, culminating in that Issue 1.0 of the process documentation which will be issued shortly. BT will be responding in the next few days to the outstanding queries received from a limited number of Operators. Some of their requested changes have been made others have not, and we will document in our response to those Operators why certain changes have not been made.

  28. STANDARD CONTRACT FORUMTHURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2004 AT 13.30 A contract amendment is not required before implementation as there is contract provision already in the PPC contract – clause 10.5 refers. Therefore, BT will not be seeking to gain contract amendment signature before implementation. Notification will be provided of implementation 90 days hence.
