Dear Members & Friends,

In case you're not aware of, we would like to remind you that there's revision of the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs) which will be put into effect on 1 January 2015.

One of the issues that might affect the ETS operators in Hong Kong is the delivery of CLI in international telecom services.

The new Article 3.6 states that:

"Member States shall endeavour to ensure that international calling line identification (CLI) information is provided taking into account the relevant ITU-T Recommendations."

For more information please refer to the  discussion paper of Telecommunications Regulatory Affairs Advisory Committee of OFCA (Paragraphs 9 and 10). (download from here)

Meanwhile should you have any queries, comments or concerns on implementation of the new regulation, you're most welcome to share with us.

Best regards,

Stephen Chan
Chairman of the ETS Society www.hkets.org
