Electronic Invoice Data (EID) Exchange

Commercial Outline

Today the Financial Clearing process is usingsignificant resources to reconcile roaming revenuesbased on the paper invoices exchanged betweenroaming partners. The EID Exchange serviceprovides Financial Clearing Houses with anautomated means of exchanging invoice data basedon the GSMA standard defined in PRD BA.36.

The EID Exchange will not make the current use ofpaper invoices redundant, but it is expected to be a

valuable additional tool to help ensure timely andcorrect monthly completion of the Financial Clearingprocess.

EDCH will be offering the EID Exchange service inline with the GSMA standards by the 1

stof October

2011.

EID Exchange

In addition to the paper invoice exchange thatFinancial Clearing Houses are using today it is nowpossible to also exchange invoice data electronically

by means of a pre-defined data format and accordingto a standardized business process described in PRDBA.36.

The PRD BA.36 defines all rules for creation ofroaming invoices and for the avoidance of anydoubts, it is intended that EID Exchange will beexecuted in parallel with the paper invoice exchange.The paper invoice will thus remain the legally bindingdocument. The EID Exchange is therefore asupporting tool to the existing process and will helpexchange financial data in a timely and correctmanner, reflecting positively on the completion of the

monthly Financial Clearing process.
