Code 900 Services
Information and content services are regulated by the Executive Order on Information and Content Services with Integrated Charging (Previously Code 900 Services).
This Executive Order specifies rules for:
- 8-digit subscriber numbers where the provider of telecommunications networks or telecommunications services, as an integral part of charging the call, is also responsible for recording the usage of an underlying information or content service as well as invoicing and billing of this to the end-user.
- Barring of calls to numbers as mentioned in no. 1.
The Executive Order also provides that the telecommunications operator is responsible for ensuring and supervising compliance with the rules on pricing, content and categorisation of information and content services. This implies that the telecommunications operator will be the first instance to deal with complaints about non-compliance with the prescribed rules.
