  A template for initial submission
  by the Operator of the numbering capacities, as well as a file for
  introduction of modifications in the numbering capacities shall beprovided by Rostelecom.·
  The Operator having branches (zone operators - cities/towns) shall generate a consolidated report on the numberingcapacities of
  all the Associated Operators operating in
  all ABC zones.·
  General rules forfilling in the template:·

  Column
  2 Settlement / Out of Settlement Attribute shall be used to specify the
  territorial quality attribute (within the bounds a settlement, outside of a
  settlement) of the Associated Operator, or an attribute of a cellular
  operator whose numbering capacity is shown in that


row
  in columns 5, 6, 7 - blank/STL/OUT/DEF. The attribute shall be selected from
  the drop-down list. One and the same associated operator may be identified by
  two attributes. Some of the numbering capacity shall be specified with the
  STL attribute, and the other part with the OUT attribute. Lack of any
  attribute, i.e. the blank value of the attribute, shall be specified for
  the Operator who has no separate geographical tariffication.·
  Column

  the column Symbol name of Associated Operator the short name of Associated
  Operator is indicated. A short name given in that column shall be unique for
  each of the Associated Operators and shall  not exceed 50 characters. There shall be no blank
  characters before or after the short name.After the numbering capacity data have been loaded
  from the template to the Billing System, RT generates the name in accordance
  with the following structure:First comes the name of the Operator/town specified
  in column 1, then the STL/OUT/DEF territorial quality attribute or Blank of
  the Associated Operator followed by the - symbol and the short name of the
  associated operator.·
  In
  the column Beginning of number range and End of number range full numbers
  allotted to the operator together with the ABC code in the format are
  indicated.7ABCxxxxxxx(length - 11 characters).By
  absence of number range, i.e. when one number is allotted, the same number is
  indicated in these columns.The
  range may not include any number ranges or individual numbers of other
  Associated Operators, i.e. overlapping of numbers is inadmissible.·
  In
  the fields Date the date of opening or closure of number range is
  indicated, in the format: DD.MM.YYYY. In this case, the date of opening and
  the date of closing of the number range shall be neither less nor more than
  the date of the current accounting period.·
  Thefile with the filled in numbering capacity data shall be given a name

money for the traffic received from the Operator and passed through Rostelecoms
network in the amount equal to the sum of the following tariffs: Rostelecoms
tariff for the service of call transit through Rostelecoms communication
network from the Operators communication network up to the communication
network of the service provider of the geographically determined numbering area
where the call of the User of which the Operator failed to submit information

version of communication protocol (current version 1.0)  File_number 
ordinal number of the file transferred (within the company)  Keyword  key
word applied as an extra identifier of the sending company  Company_id 
value of the Sending_Company_Code of the
operator which is unique and is issued by Rostelecom in the course of the
Agreement execution.  Creation_date 
data and time of the file in the format YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss (YYYY  year (4

reference amount of the file body (data between tags <main> and
</<\main>), calculated by algorythm MD5. Record
<xxx> is subsequently denominated an opening tag and </xxx> - a
closing tag xxx. Tag declaration should contain no spaces and tabs. The body
between an opening tag <xxx> and a closing tag </xxx> is called
section xxx.  Therefore
each file contains a header and a section main. Section main in its turn contains one or more sections insert, update or delete.  Section insert indicates that the information contained between the
tags must be included into database.  <insert

one complex object with the same name within a parent section.  Simple attribute a property (feature) of an object or complex attribute which value may
be set or changed. Simple attribute contains only one value changeable in
section Update by tags <old> and <new>. Sample of editing simple
attribute within an object: <object
