ITU OB 734-E / 6
Approval of ITU-T Recommendations
A. By TSB Circular 18 of 14 December 2000 it was announced that the following new ITU-T Recommendations were approved, in accordance with the procedures outlined in Resolution 1, Section 8, of the WTSC (Geneva, 1996):
– ITU-T Recommendation K.46: Protection of telecommunication lines using metallic symmetric conductors against lightning induced surges
– ITU-T Recommendation K.47: Protection of telecommunication lines using metallic conductors against direct lightning discharges
The conditions governing the approval of ITU-T Recommendations were met and 17 Member States participating in the last meeting of Study Group 5 approved the text of these Recommendations during the Plenary session held on 8 December 2000.
Allocation of ITU-T defined codes for non-standard facilities
Note from TSB:At the request of Administration of Czech Republic and in the light of the
Memorandum of Understanding signed by the telecommunication authorities of the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, the Director of TSB has assigned the following ITU-T defined codes to these two countries respectively, in accordance with Recommendation ITU-T T.35:
Inauguration of Universal International Shared Cost Numbers (UISCN)
for the International Shared Cost Service (ISCS)Advance Information and timetable
TSB Circular 21 of 1.II.2001:1. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA – 2000, Montreal) has recently approved ITU-T Recommendation E.169.3, entitled:
“Application of Recommendation E.164 numbering plan for Universal International Shared Cost Number (s) for the international shared cost service”.

2. The International Shared Cost Service (ISCS) enables an ISCS customer in one country to be assigned one or more special telephone numbers in other countries which allow ISCS callers in those countries to call the ISCS customer at a rate equivalent to a national call charge in the country of origin. All other service and call-related charges are paid by the ISCS customer.
ITU OB 734-E / 8
ITU-T Recommendation E.154 provides the service description for the International Shared Cost Service (ISCS), along with information on the service ordering process and other service operational aspects.3. The Universal International Shared Cost Number (UISCN) is a unique number assigned to an Applicant for its ISCS customer that is the same throughout the world. A UISCN is composed of a three-digit country code (808) for a global service application and an eight-digit global subscriber number.4. ITU-TSB has been requested to perform the task of Registrar for UISCNs, responsible for processing registration requests and assignment of the global subscriber number (GSN) portion of the UISCN in accordance with Recommendation E.169.3 and Recommendation E.154 “International Shared Cost Service”.
At its July 2000 session, the ITU Council approved the role of TSB as UISCN Registrar and furthermore decided to establish the registration fee at 200 Swiss francs per number issued.5. At the Working Party 1/2 meeting in October 2000 in Berlin, Germany, it was decided on the timetable for the start-up phase for the receipt and validation of UISCN applications as follows: 1 February 2001: notification of availability
90 days prior to the commencement of acceptance of applications, the Registrar will announce UISCN availability.
2 May 2001: receipt of applications30 days prior to the reservation of UISCNs by the Registrar, applications will be received and validated. All valid requests received during that period will be deemed to have been received at the same time in order to ensure equal treatment for all applicants.
2 June 2001: amendment of all invalid applicationsThe Registrar will have three days in which to amend all invalid applications in consultation with applicants.
7 June 2001 onwards: settlement of conflicts and assigning of UISCNsThe Registrar will assign UISCNs and resolve any conflicts having arisen during the start-up period.
2 June 2001 onwards: “first come first served” basisApplications received after 2 June 2001, will be treated on a “first come first served” basis. However, no numbers will be reserved until all conflicts have been settled.
6. You are please urged to observe carefully the conditions and principles concerning UISCN assignment, as specified in Recommendation E.169.3. Additionally, the service description, the service ordering process and other service operational aspects for the ISCS are provided in Recommendation E.154.
Application forms and additional information are also available on the internet: http://www.itu.int/itu-t/universalnumbers/uiscn7. For any comments or inquiries please contact:

SingaporeCommunication of 25.I.2001:
ITU OB 734-E / 24
Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), Singapore, announces changes to the numbering plan for the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) in Singapore (country code +65), as from 1 March 2002.
Note: This change does not affect the Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) numbers (i.e. mobile and paging services).
ITU OB 734-E / 25
Introduction With effect from 1 March 2002, the E.164 numbering plan of the Republic of
Singapore will become a uniform national eight-digit plan. The international public telecommunication number structure of Singapore will have ten (10) digits in all (including the country code +65).
CC + N(S)N Where: CC is the country code consisting of two (2) digits N(S)N is the national (significant) number consisting of eight (8) digits In Singapore’s context, the N(S)N is the same as subscriber number (SN).
Why change the numbering plan at this time?The rapid growth of the telecommunication market due to the recent full
liberalisation of the industry has led to a substantial increase in the use of number resources, making it necessary to expand the capacity of the numbering plan.Timetable for implementation of the new plan
General features of the new planDigit ‘6’ will be added in front of the existing seven-digit N(S)N for PSTN to
form the new eight-digit N(S)N for PSTN.Between now and 28 February 2002, existing PSTN customers and new
customers will be allocated seven-digit N(S)Ns. As from 1 March 2002, a digit ‘6’ will be added in front of existing seven-digit N(S)N to become eight-digit N(S)N, while new customers will be allocated eight-digit N(S)N.
The existing eight-digit N(S)N format for PLMN will be retained. Specific examples
Overseas calls to a PSTN subscriber in Singapore The number currently dialled is +65 234 5678 As from 1 March 2002, the corresponding number will be +65 6234 5678Overseas calls to a PLMN subscriber in Singapore The number currently dialled is +65 9234 5678 There will not be any change on or after 1 March 2002, the corresponding
number will still be +65 9234 5678International parallel access
To facilitate overseas calls to Singapore during the initial period of the change in the numbering plan, a one year parallel access will be in place, from 1 March 2002 until 28 February 2003.
From 1 March 2002 until 28 February 2003, overseas calls to Singapore accessing both seven-digit N(S)N (e.g. +65 234 5678) and eight-digit N(S)N (e.g. +65 6234 5678) will be completed.
After 28 February 2003, overseas calls to Singapore accessing seven-digit N(S)N (e.g. +65 234 5678) will be routed to a recorded announcement and the call will be discontinued. Only calls to Singapore using the eight-digit N(S)N (e.g. +65 6234 5678) will be completed.
