National regulatory agencies require specific practical knowledge to implement cost-modelling solutions in their countries. These guidelines present information based on publicly available literature and the expertise of the Rapporteur and Vice-Rapporteurs for Question 4/1 on economic policies and methods of determining the costs of services related to national telecommunication/ICT networks. It also considers the final report issued in response to Question 4/1 for the previous ITU-D study period (2014-2017), which presents initial studies of different cost models and new charging methods for telecommunication/ICT services in a next-generation network environment. The guidelines focus mainly on mobile and fixed telecommunication networks, although many of the topics covered can also be applied to other telecommunication networks, such as satellite and broadcasting networks.
