FCC RELEASES 1997 INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC DATA

The FCC has released a report prepared by the Common Carrier Bureau's IndustryAnalysis Division titled 1997 Section 43.61 International Telecommunications Data.

Traffic between the United States and other countries is reported on a country-by-countrybasis for telephone, telegraph, telex and private line services. Although international trafficinformation is reported in great detail, it is not reported until after U.S. and foreign carriers canreconcile their books. Carriers were required to file their 1997 data by July 31, 1997, andrevisions by October 31.

U.S. carriers reported that in 1997, they billed $15.2 billion for international telephoneservice, $.9 billion for private line services and $.1 billion for other international services. U.S.carriers billed for 22.8 billion minutes of telephone service. U.S. carriers handled 21.7 billionof these minutes through traditional settlement arrangements, 1.1 billion of these minutes throughInternational Simple Resale (ISR/Hubbing) arrangements and 16 million of these minutes throughalternative settlement arrangements.

U.S. and foreign carriers compensate each other for completed calls. Because U.S.customers place more calls than do foreign customers, U.S. carriers make net payments to foreigncarriers. The net amount was approximately $5.5 billion in 1997, down from $5.7 billion in1996. U.S. carriers retained about $10.8 billion of international revenues, up from $9.4 billionin 1996. The report is available for reference in the Common Carrier Bureau Reference Room,2000 M Street, N.W., Room 575.

1997 International Telecommunications Data

Introduction

This report contains data regarding telecommunications service between the United Statesand international points in 1997. The data are compiled from reports submitted to the FederalCommunications Commission by U.S. carriers pursuant to Section 43.61 of the Commission'srules. Section 43.61(a) directs carriers to file reports by July 31 that summarize internationaltelecommunications service provided during the preceding calendar year. Carriers submit theirfinal data for the preceding calendar year by October 31. The specific filing requirements areset forth in the Manual for Filing Section 43.61 Data (June 1995), which governs filingsbeginning with the 1995 international traffic data.

The Commission summarizes these filings in statistical reports. The statistical reports areused to monitor the development of competition in international telecommunications markets.These reports are also used by the United States to develop and support positions in discussionswith foreign governments and international standards organizations, and by thetelecommunciations industry for facilities planning.

Figure 1 summarizes the traffic and revenue data reported by all U.S. facilities-based andfacilities-resale carriers for 1997, but do not include pure resale service. These categories areexplained below.

International services are provided either on a facilities-based, facilities-resale, or pureresale basis. For categorizing traffic, facilities-based refers to services provided usinginternational transmission facilities owned in whole or in part by the carrier providing service.Facilities-based carriers use one or more international channels of communications to provideinternational telecommunications service. An international channel is a wire or radio link thatfacilitates electronic communications between a U.S. point and a point outside the domesticUnited States (see Figure 5, below). A facilities-based carrier either owns international channels,has an ownership interest in the channel such as an indefeasible right of use (IRU), or leases thechannel from an entity that does not report those circuits in its own Section 43.61 reports. Forcategorizing traffic, facilities-resale refers to services provided by a carrier utilizing internationalcircuits leased from other reporting international carriers. The determination as to whetherinternational private line services is reported as facilities-based or facilities-resale generally isbased on the first international link of a circuit. If the carrier has an ownership interest in thatlink, or leases it from an entity that does not report that link, then service provided over thatcircuit will be reported as facilities-based. Otherwise, the international private line service shouldbe reported as facilities-resale.

Carriers provide pure resale services by switching traffic to (and reselling the switchedservices of) other underlying U.S. carriers. The underlying carriers control the circuit that carriesthe traffic to the international point, arrange for termination of the traffic, and report the trafficon a country-by-country basis in their own Section 43.61 reports. Switchless resellers generallyoperate on a pure resale basis. A switchless reseller, however, could lease international circuitsand operate on an ISR basis. Figure 2 shows that there are reduced reporting requirements forservices provided on a pure resale basis. Some carriers report traffic carried over circuits thatthey own, over circuits that they lease from other carriers, as well as traffic that they handle ona pure resale basis (i.e., by reselling the switched services of underlying carriers). These carriersreport detailed data for traffic that they carry over owned and resold circuits and summary datafor switched traffic that they route to other U.S. carriers.

Starting with 1991 data filings, carriers were required to file facilities-based trafficseparately from pure resale traffic. Facilities-resale traffic was not separated from facilities-basedtraffic. Beginning with the 1995 data filings, carriers were required to provide separate switchedservice and private line data for facilities-based and facilities resale services. At that time, a fewcarriers were offering international simple resale (ISR) services, which at that time consisted oftelephone services provided over resold private lines, i.e. on a facilities-resale basis. TheCommission subsequently allowed carriers to provide ISR services using owned circuits as wellas using resold circuits. Beginning with the 1997 data filings, carriers were required to separateswitched services data by the financial arrangements made with carriers in foreign countries forterminating that traffic. Carriers now classify traffic as traditional settlement with proportionatereturn, international simple resale including traffic hubbed through an intermediate foreigncountry, and alternative settlement arrangements approved under Section 64.1002 of theCommission's rules. These financial arrangements are discussed on page 5. Carriers continueto separately report facilities-based and facilities-resale private line services.

Carriers must report switched traffic in three broad categories: U.S. billed; foreign billed;and transiting. U.S. billed traffic includes all traffic billed by U.S. carriers, and includes mostcalls that originate in the United States, calls that are placed collect or "caller toll free" to theUnited States, U.S. carrier "country-beyond" and "country-direct" calls, and U.S. carrierreorigination traffic.

Country-direct and country-beyond services are U.S. carrier offerings that allowcustomers in foreign locations to route calls through U.S. carrier facilities to reach the UnitedStates (country-direct) or any world point (country-beyond). Country-direct and country-beyondservices rely on alternative billing arrangements, such as credit cards, and enable the customerin a foreign point to be served by a U.S. carrier rather than by a foreign carrier. Note that U.S.carriers or their affiliates may operate in foreign countries as foreign carriers. They do not report43.61 traffic on calls that they carry from one foreign country to another unless they carry thistraffic through a United States point.

Reorigination traffic is billed by a foreign carrier, transits a U.S. carrier's facilities andterminates in a foreign point. Unlike traditional transiting arrangements, reorigination traffic isnot settled pursuant to an accounting rate agreement between the originating and terminatingcarriers. Reorigination allows the foreign carrier to take advantage of the U.S. carrier'saccounting rate agreement with the carrier in the terminating country. The U.S. carrier treatsreorigination traffic like U.S. billed traffic when it settles with the carrier in the country oftermination and reports this traffic as U.S. billed traffic for filing purposes.

In their public filings, carriers include country-direct, country-beyond and reoriginationtraffic with other U.S. billed traffic. In proprietary filings, carriers separate these services fromother U.S. billed traffic. Table A1 shows that carriers reported 22.8 billion minutes of U.S. billedtraffic in 1997, for which they billed $15.3 billion. Table A65 shows that 21.3 billion of theseminutes, and $13.6 billion of this revenue was for calls that originated in the United States orterminated collect or caller toll free in the United States. Table A66 shows that .9 billion ofthese minutes and $1.5 billion of this revenue was for country-direct and country-beyond typeservices. Table A67 shows that .5 billion of these minutes and $.2 billion of this revenue wasfor reorigination services billed to foreign carriers.

Foreign billed traffic is all traffic billed by a foreign or correspondent carrier and includesmost calls that originate in foreign points as well as collect and caller toll free calls placed byU.S. customers to foreign points. Foreign billed calls do not necessarily originate in the countryfor which the traffic is reported. In some cases, foreign carriers reoriginate traffic for otherforeign carriers. U.S. carriers may not know which calls originated in a country and which callshad originated in some third country and then been reoriginated by the foreign carrier that sentthe calls to the United States.

Transiting traffic is traffic that originates from an international point, is billed by aforeign or correspondent carrier, is routed through the U.S., and terminates at an internationalpoint. Transiting traffic is reported for the country in which the service is billed. Unlike

4

Page 9: NEWS - Federal Communications Commission · International Message Telephone D1 (p1) Miscellaneous International Services D2 (p5) E: Switched Services Market Shares F: Private Line

reorigination traffic, transiting traffic is settled based on the settlement rate between the actualcountries of origination and destination.

As explained above, carriers separately report international switched telephone, telegraph,telex, and miscellaneous services based on the financial termination arrangements. TraditionalSettlement traffic is settled according to the Commission's International Settlements Policy (ISP).(See 47 C.F.R. Sections 43.51(e) & 64.1001.) The settlement is based on the accounting rate,which is part of a compensation agreement negotiated between a U.S. carrier and its foreigncorrespondent on a particular international route. The ISP requires nondiscriminatory accountingrates among U.S. carriers on a given route and that the U.S. carrier and its foreign correspondentshare the accounting rate on a 50/50 basis. The ISP also requires that the U.S. carrier agree toaccept no more than its proportionate share of return traffic from the foreign carrier. Table A62shows that U.S. carriers reported 21.7 billion minutes of U.S. billed traditional settlement trafficin 1997, for which they billed $15.0 billion.

ISR/Hubbed traffic is switched traffic that is routed and settled by the U.S. carrier outsidethe traditional settlement process and that may be carried over private lines that areinterconnected to the public switched network on one or both ends of the private line. TheCommission allows carriers to use ISR as a means to route U.S.-inbound traffic between theUnited States and a limited number of approved countries. In many cases, U.S. carriers exchangetraffic with a carrier in an approved country and that carrier "hubs" the call, i.e. terminates thecall in or from a third country under a traditional settlement agreement. See 47 C.F.R. Sec.63.17. Table A63 shows that U.S. carriers reported 1.1 billion U.S. billed ISR/Hubbed minutesof traffic in 1997, for which they billed $.3 billion. U.S. carriers also reported receiving .3billion foreign billed ISR/Hubbed minutes of traffic in 1997.

Alternative Settlement traffic is settled under Commission approved agreements that maydeviate from the ISP pursuant to Section 64.1002 of the rules. See 47 C.F.R. Sec. 64.1002.These are also referred to as "flexible settlement" agreements. Table A64 shows that U.S.carriers reported 30 million minutes of U.S. billed alternative settlement traffic for 1997, forwhich they billed $18 million. U.S. carriers also reported receiving 16 million minutes of foreignbilled alternative settlement traffic in 1997.

* Carriers are not required to file message counts for transiting traffic.

** Many carriers have requested proprietary treatment for country-by-countrytransiting minutes. Both U.S. and foreign carriers compete for transiting traffic. The minutes data would allow competitors to estimate contract revenues perminute. The published tables contain region and world totals for transitingminutes.

*** Prior to filing 1995 data, carriers selected their own traffic measures formiscellaneous services.

For private line services, carriers report the number of actual circuits leased to customersat year-end. Beginning with their 1995 international traffic data, carriers also report these circuitsin terms of voice-equivalent circuits. For lower bandwidths, this means reporting the number of64-kilobit-per-second channels that would equal the actual circuits. An 18 megahertz videochannel, however, should be reported as 240 voice-equivalent channels, a 24-megahertz videochannel should be reported as 288 voice-equivalent channels, and a 36-megahertz video channelshould be reported as 630 voice-equivalent channels. This is the same conversion factor usedby carriers in preparing circuit data reports filed pursuant to Section 43.82 of the Commission'srules, and to calculate regulatory fees. Voice-equivalent circuits are denoted "64 K" in theattached tables.

Facilities-based U.S. and foreign carriers (often called post, telephone and telegraphadministrations or PTTs) jointly provide most international services. This is not always apparentto the customer but is reflected in some of the traffic and revenue data that are filed. For

switched services, one carrier collects from customers and then compensates its foreign partnersthrough the settlement process. Compensation is based on minutes of calling and on accountingrates specified in settlement agreements. The number of minutes used for settlement purposesis generally based on the number of conversation minutes. Carriers providing international simpleresale and hubbed services may have settlement-like arrangements under which they compensatePTTs for traffic that originates or terminates at foreign points.

For facilities-based and facilities-resale services, carriers must report the minutes used forsettlement purposes. Prior to 1991, carriers were directed to report billed minutes, rather thansettlement minutes. Billed minutes tend to be greater than settlement minutes because somecarriers bill in 30 second or whole minute increments. Pure resale carriers continue to file billedminutes, since they do not participate in the settlement process, and may not have access tosettlement minutes data.

Country-beyond calls have two international legs. Carriers are instructed to report boththe originating and terminating legs of such calls. Consequently, approximately two minutes willbe reported for each conversation minute. Each leg of the call may have settlement paymentsand these payments should be reported for the appropriate country. Carriers are instructed toreport all of the revenue by the country in which the call originates. Country-direct and country-beyond traffic cannot be separately identified from a carrier's publicly filed data. Similarly, anindividual carrier's public data include reoriginated traffic. This traffic is included for the countryin which the call terminates.

For U.S. billed switched services, the tables show the amount that the customers are billedfor service, the corresponding settlement amount that the carrier owes to its foreign partner, andthe amount of revenue that it retains. Carriers are instructed to report the actual amount ofrevenues that they bill for service, net of discounts. Many carriers offer discount plans thatentitle customers to discounts based on the customer's total bill. Some carriers do not recalculatediscounted bill amounts on a call-by-call basis. These carriers collect country-by-country revenuetotals based on non-discounted rates and must estimate the amount of discounts for each country.

For foreign billed traffic, the tables show the settlement amounts owed to U.S. carriersby foreign carriers. These amounts are referred to as "Receipts from Foreign Carriers" in thetables. In the case of transiting traffic, the U.S. carrier often receives a transit fee for itself, anda settlement amount which is owed to the terminating carrier. Thus, the tables show receipts,payouts and a net amount for transiting traffic. Figure 4 shows the revenue relationships.

U.S. Billed Traffic Billed revenues - Settlements owed to foreign carriers = U.S. carrier retained revenue

Foreign Billed Traffic Settlements due from foreign carriers= U.S. carrier retained revenue

Transiting Traffic Transit fee and settlements due from foreign carriers - Settlements owed to foreign carriers = U.S. carrier retained revenue

Total Retained revenue for U.S. billed + Retained revenue from foreign billed + Retained revenue from transiting = Total U.S. carrier retained revenue

U.S. carriers report the number of private line circuits actually leased at year-end.Financial arrangements for private line services are different than for public switched services.The U.S. carrier provides the circuit to a theoretical mid-point, and the foreign partner providesthe remainder of the circuit. In some cases, each carrier bills for its half of the service; in othercases, one carrier acts as the collection agent. Unlike message telephone service, where the ratecovers the whole cost of the call, the U.S. carrier's private line rate covers only the half-circuitto the theoretical mid-point. The filing manual states that U.S. carriers must report the amountof private line revenue that they record for their half of the service, regardless of who actuallycollects the revenue. U.S. carriers should not report revenue that they collect on behalf of theforeign carriers or amounts that they bill for services that they provide in foreign countries.

International points are grouped into ten regions for reporting purposes. The regionsinclude all countries of the world as well as three maritime classifications -- the Atlantic, Pacific,and other oceans. In some cases, international points have been grouped outside the geographicregion for reporting purposes. For example, the Azores and Madeira Islands are included withPortugal. Any data reported to these points are included with Portugal traffic and are summarizedwith Western Europe traffic in the tables. (See International Points Used for FCC ReportingPurposes, April 1994.)

Carriers are required to file separate data for each U.S. point that they serve. Alaska andHawaii, for example, are considered distinct U.S. points for this purpose. Figure 5 identifies theU.S. points used for reporting purposes. Carriers serving larger U.S. points are required to filedetailed country-by-country data on computer disk. Carriers serving smaller U.S. points may fileworld totals in lieu of country-by-country data. In a few instances, carriers have obtained waiversso that they can consolidate data for Hawaii and the conterminous United States.

Figure 5 shows which U.S. points are classified as domestic and which are classified asother. Calls between domestic U.S. points are considered domestic and therefore are notreported. Calls between domestic U.S. points and other U.S. points are defined as internationaland are reported. For example, a directly dialed call originating in Guam and terminating inHawaii is reported by the carrier serving Guam as U.S. billed traffic to Hawaii. The carrierserving Hawaii reports this same call as a foreign billed call from Guam. Thus, our aggregatecall statistics double-count both the call and the associated minutes. Table A1 shows that U.S.carriers reported almost 6.4 billion calls between the U.S. and international points. Of these calls,37 million (less than 1%) were reported for traffic between U.S. points. Thus, the double-counting is small when compared to the overall number of calls.

Presentation of Data

Figure 6 lists the carriers whose data are presented in the attached tables. Figure 7summarizes the billed revenue data contained in the tables, and Figure 8 summarizes the netrevenue data contained in the tables -- that is, billed revenue net of settlement payments. Figure9 summarizes international message telephone service for the four largest carriers (AT&T, MCI,Sprint and WorldCom, Inc.) for 1991 through 1997.

The Section 43.61 data have been summarized for all reporting carriers and for all U.S.points. Some tables show totals for all carriers serving individual U.S. points. Other tables showtotals for all data filed by individual carriers. Data have been consolidated where a holdingcompany owns more than one carrier. For example, the data MCI reported for its subsidiary,Western Union International, Inc., have been consolidated and included with other MCI data.

The country-by-country data are presented by region of the world. The foreign points arelisted alphabetically in each region, followed by U.S. points listed alphabetically. As notedabove, the data for U.S. points shown in the regional breakdowns represent traffic between thosepoints and other U.S. points, as reported by carriers that file country-by-country data. Carriersserving smaller U.S. points file world totals for international traffic. Those totals for allinternational points are shown separately, following the regional data. Thus, some smaller U.S.points appear twice in the tables. Those totals for smaller U.S. points are included in the totaltraffic reported for foreign points even though some of that traffic was carried between U.S.points.

U.S. carriers are required to file message counts for switched services that originate orterminate at a U.S. point. They are not required to provide message counts for traffic that transitsU.S. points. Carriers have ready access to message counts for traffic that they bill, but sometimeshave difficulty obtaining message counts for traffic billed by foreign telephone companies. Asnoted in Figure 3, transiting minutes are not being published on a country-by-country basis.Region totals are provided for those regions where transiting traffic is carried from more than onecountry.

Carriers file detailed traffic data using a record format contained in the filing manual. Forswitched services, each record contains a billing type code that signifies the traffic exchangemethod and whether the call was U.S. billed, foreign billed or transiting. For U.S. billed calls thebilling type code indicates whether the data represents a) U.S. originated traffic and U.S.terminated collect and subscriber toll free traffic; b) country direct and country beyond traffic;or c) U.S. carrier reorigination traffic. For private services, the billing type code signifieswhether the data contain facilities-based or facilities-resale circuits. The billing codes used forfiling 1997 data are contained in the International Bureau's Public Notice DA 98-1369,Clarification of Section 43.61 International Traffic Data Reporting Requirements, July 9, 1998.

The table titles use the billing types to indicate the type of data aggregated in a particulartable. There are three groups of billing type codes for switched services. Billing types 1 through6 are used for traditional settlement traffic. Billing types 11 though 16 are used for ISR/hubbedtraffic. Billing types 21 through 26 are used for alternative settlement arrangement traffic. Thebilling types do not distinguish whether a switched service was provided over a carrier's ownedfacilities or over leased circuits. Table A67, for example, shows billing types 5, 15 and 25,meaning that the tables include all traditional settlement, ISR/hubbed, and alternative settlementreorigination traffic. Carriers may not have filed any alternative settlement reorigination traffic,but this table would include that data, if they had.

10

The specific billing types allow the following breakdowns.

BillingType(s)1, 11, 21 U.S. billed calls that originate in or terminate collect or subscriber toll free

in the United States

2, 12, 22 foreign billed calls

3 traditional transiting calls (there is no billing type 13 or 23 because alltraditional transiting calls are exchanged under traditional settlementarrangements)

4, 14, 24 U.S. billed country-direct and country-beyond calls

5, 15, 25 terminating leg of calls reoriginated by U.S. carriers

6, 16, 26 originating leg of calls reoriginated by U.S. carriers

There are only two billing type codes used for private line services. Billing type 1signifies facilities-based circuits. Billing type 11 signifies facilities-resale circuits.

Total telephone service traffic contained in Table A1 is divided as follows:

Table A62 traditional settlement traffic

Table A63 ISR/hubbed traffic

Table A64 alternative settlement traffic

Total telephone service traffic contained in Table A1 also is divided as follows:

Table A65 traffic that originates or terminates in the United States except country-direct, country-beyond, and reoriginated traffic; the table also includestraditionally handled transiting traffic

Table A66 country-direct and country-beyond traffic

Table A67 terminating leg of reoriginated traffic
