Abstract :

This report provides: (i) an update on revenue collection through the implementation of Council Decision on 600 on Universal International Freephone Number (UIFN); and (ii) a recommendation to abrogate Council Decision 601 on Issuer Identifier Number (IIN).
Revenues from the implementation of Council Decision 600 have been on average in the order of CHF 235 000 per annum since 2018.
However, revenues from the implementation of Council Decision 601 have been on average in the order of CHF 4 700 per annum since 2018. Furthermore, ITU-T Study Group 2 has approved a revision to Recommendation ITU-T E.118 governing the administration of IINs, removing the registrar function and the associated fee collection framework. Considering these factors, the report proposes the abrogation of Council Decision 601.
