Tariff and accounting principles and international telecommunication/ICT economic and policy issues
ITU-T Study Group 3 (SG3) works on standards (or ITU-T Recommendations) pertaining to the economic and policies issues related to international telecommunication and ICT services. SG3 studies cost models that help maintain competitive service prices and promotes global access to digital services.
SG3's collaborative approach is one of its defining characteristics, bringing together a diverse set of stakeholders in the telecommunication field. By working on fair cost structures, SG3 aims to make telecommunication services more affordable and widely available.
Additionally, SG3 looks at the broader effects of the Internet and emerging technologies on the economics of telecommunication. SG3 studies the impact of Over-the-top (OTT) applications, artificial intelligence (AI), mobile payments and other new services to help shape policies that support innovation and ensure everyone benefits from digital technology advancements.
