Facsimile Service

Bureaufax Table
(4th edition under preparation)
	The preparation of the fourth edition of the Bureaufax Table undertaken by the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB) of the ITU is being carried out in close cooperation with the International Bureau of the UPU. The new edition will nevertheless not be available for several months.
	This is because, in view of the considerable increase in the number of bureaux notified by some countries, both for part III (List of gateway bureaux) and for part IV (List of national bureaux not open to direct reception of international facsimile documents), the fourth edition of the Bureaufax Table is likely to be far too voluminous and consequently too expensive and difficult to update, unless appropriate action is taken.
	After considering the matter in detail, representatives of postal administrations and the UPU Bureau, who participated in the work of Study Group 1 of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector, together with the ITU officials responsible for preparing of the new edition, have agreed to recommend to Bureaufax service operators that the number of bureaux published in the document currently in preparation be restricted.
	The Bureaufax service operators concerned have been duly informed of this restriction and invited to revise their information before 1 August 1994.
	The Subscription Circular will be sent out in August 1994.

Telephone Service
Australia
– Communication of 5.VII.1994:
New Telephone Numbering Plan in Australia
	AUSTEL announces that commencing in July 1994, and continuing trough to 1999, Australia will implement a new telephone numbering plan under which all subscriber's telephone numbers will be eight digits in length and the number of area codes will be reduced from 54 to 4. 

	The initial phase of the eight digit numbering scheme is being introduced in Sydney on 25 July 1994. From that date, all telephone numbers in the Sydney area currently starting with “99” (area code 2) will consist of eight digits. To assist customers during the changeover, all of these numbers will have dual access from 25 July 1994 to 24 January 1995. This means that calls will be connected by dialling either the old or the new number during that period. However after 24 January 1995, there will only be access to the new numbers. Details of the new number structures are as follows:

Commencement of change	Old numbers	New numbers	Date dual access ends	
25.VII.1994
25.VII.1994	+61 2 99X XXXX
+61 2 99X XXXX	+61 2 999X XXXX
+61 2 9999 XXXX	24.I.1995
24.I.1995	

	Changes to national (significant) number length arising from this change are as follows:
Number range	Minimum number length	Maximun number length	Comments	
+61 2	7	9	Maximum number length increased from 8 to 9 digits on 25 July 1994	
	Further information about these changes can be obtained from Vince Humphries, Manager, Numbering, AUSTEL, on +61 3 820 3021 (facsimile).
