Telecommunications plays an increasingly important role in our lives.
In fact, in many countries the revenues generated from the telecommunications business are the prime source of the national income, with the international telecommunications services being the main element in that income. Countries have no flexibility to reduce international call prices due to the level of accounting rate agreed which can only be reduced if the other country is in agreement, this has been the main obstacle for any changes in international call pricing in almost all countries due to the fact that some countries depend on the money generated from incoming calls to develop their Networks. And this is why, many services have emerged that bypass the traditional methods of communication and subsequently the traditional accounting remuneration system with the view of charging less prices to their customers. This was a unilateral move opposed by most countries due to its adverse effects on national income. Sudan, Mauritania and Somalia.
