Market structure and competition play an important role in the setting of mobile-to-fixed and fixed-to-mobile interconnection charges. (...) Generally, incumbent operators who control a larger number of addresses are likely to impose unfavorable terms on or deny interconnection altogether to new entrants with fewer addresses. In those special circumstances where incumbents are subject to mandatory cost-based interconnection, regulatory agencies do not intervene in the setting of termination charges, charges are passed on to fixed customers under CPP, and there is incumbent ownership of mobile operators, a different outcome of excessive fixed-to-mobile termination charges may be seen. Consequently, the prices of calls to mobile phones from fixed customers tend to be significantly higher than calls to fixed phones by mobile customers in CPP environments.

First, moving towards fixed baselines is consistent with existing international law. (...) This practice gives coastal States greater agency in maintaining their maritime entitlements. Fixed baselines are the next step down the path that state practice has already begun to walk. 10. (...) Chair, by 2100 we could see millions displaced as States lose vast swaths of their territory or disappear altogether. In the coming years, the ILC will need to look beyond existing law and listen to the voices of the most vulnerable States in its progressive development of international law.

Target 2.3.B : Broadband services should cost no more than 5 % of average monthly income in developing countries by 2020​ Country performance against the broadband affordability target, 2014   Source: Measuring the Information Society Report, ITU 2015   ​By early 2015, a total of 111 economies (out of 160 for which data were available) had achieved the target of broadband services costing no more than 5 per cent of average monthly income, including all developed countries and 67 developing economies. 102 of the 111 economies had achieved the target for fixed-broadband prices and 105 for mobile-broadband prices. Altogether, 49 developing countries for which data were available need to achieve further reductions in broadband prices in order to achieve the target, together, it should be assumed, with a number of other countries for which no data were available.

As opposed to that, the part of expenses generated by fixed (volume not-dependent, or little-dependent) costs currently represents by far the major share, including R&D, sales and marketing costs, depreciation and financial costs added to the fixed costs of production. (...) At the other extreme, some companies have accepted to more or less fully allocate these fixed costs exclusively to these segments of the market where a solvent demand makes the business nevertheless (highly) profitable. (...) The second limit is of political nature : If industry has to get what it considers as an altogether acceptable return on investment, the rich market segments, which will secure this return on investment, will have to endorse or even support the resulting possibly substantial price differences.

  Changes in the Text Related to Multiple Layers

One way of achieving this would be to set UFEP = 000 for all such B-pictures, but we propose to go one step further and suppress the RLNUM field altogether. In particular, this means that the B-pictures in the base layer and enhancement layer 1 of figure O.5/H.263 can have UFEP = 000, since they must have RLNUM = 0, 1 respectively, while the B-pictures in enhancement layer 2 must have UFEP = 001 and specify the reference layer for the first B-picture. (...) Furthermore, the text in 5.1.11 on RLNUM: “A fixed length codeword of 4 bits which is present only if the optional Temporal, SNR, and Spatial Scalability mode is in use and UFEP is 001. (...) Time correspondence between layers is achieved via the temporal reference.” can be changed to “A fixed length codeword of 4 bits which is present only if the optional Temporal, SNR, and Spatial Scalability mode is in use and UFEP is 001, and, for B-pictures, only if there is not temporally surrounding non-B pictures in the same layer.
