United States (Microsoft Corporation)
Communication of 18.IV.1995:
Database of Telephone Dialling Procedures
	The company Microsoft Corporation, United States, one of the scientific or industrial organizations (SIOs) members of the Telecommunication Standardization Sector, informes the ITU that it is preparing a database of telephone dialling procedures applied in the different countries of the world for inclusion in the forthcoming Microsoft Windows 95 personal computer operating system and future versions of Microsoft Windows NT.

	The proposed system will offer the following facilities:
	Having connected their computer and modem to the telephone network in the provisional manner, users will be able, regardless of the country in which they are located, to place trunk or international telephone calls simply by indicating the name of that country. They will no longer need to consult or to enter into the computer the telephone dialling procedures, which will have been determined before-hand and memorized in the system. The database will be periodically updated by special programmes designed for that purpose, distributed electronically to users of the operating systems.
	Microsoft Corporation has said that in order to record exact dialling procedures and check its own information on the subject, it has sent a message by mail, fax or telex to the contact points of each telephone company appearing in the ITU Global Directory and hopes to receive numerous replies from the administrations or operators concerned with the information it requires (address: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, REDMOND, Washington 98052-6399, USA – Mr. Toby Nixon, Program Manager, Windows Telephony – Email: tnixon@microsoft.com; Fax: +1 206 936-7329; Tlx: 160520 Microsoft BVUE; Voice: +1 206 936-2792)*.
____________
*)	This address appears in the ITU Global Directory (9th Edition, 1995).

Note from the TSB:
	After consultation with Microsoft Corporation, it was agreed that all information gathered with regard to the telephone dialling procedures used in the different countries of the world will also be made available to the public through ITU Headquarters.
	Microsoft Corporation has agreed to continue to collect updates and maintain this database, forwarding updates to ITU-T regularly for publication in the Operational Bulletin, on the basis of changes which could be forwarded to Mr. T. Nixon at Microsoft (address above) by the relevant telephone administrations or operators.
