THE FOURTH APEC MINISTERIAL MEETING OF THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION INDUSTRY
(TELMIN4)
24-26 MAY 2000, CANCUN, MEXICO

Annex B

APEC Principles on International Charging Arrangements for Internet Services

Internet connectivity is an essential element of the global information infrastructure that should be encouraged to strengthen the Asia-Pacific Information Infrastructure.
Governments need not intervene in private business agreements on International Charging Agreements for Internet Services achieved in a competitive environment, but where there are dominant players or de facto monopolies, governments must play a role in promoting fair competition.
Internet charging arrangements between providers of network services should be commercially negotiated and, among other issues, reflect:
The contribution of each network to the communication;
The use by each party of the interconnected network resources; and
The end to end costs of international transport link capacity.
