  • ECC Report 195
    ECC Report 195 Minimum Set of Quality of Service Parameters and Measurement Methods for Retail Internet Access Services approved April 2013 ECC REPORT 195 – Page 2 0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide information on best practices for monitoring the quality of retail internet access services and recommend a harmonized minimum set of parameters and measurement methods to achieve this goal. The Internet has become increasingly important and the number of applications based on the Internet continues to rise. Along with the growing popularity of the Internet and growing demand for these applications, the number of complaints about the quality of Internet access services increases correspondingly. Although there are many different tariffs and products offered by Internet access service providers, information about the quality of those services are rarely given, or the information cannot easily be compared with any other offer thereby limiting the ability of consumers to inform their decision making. If a common set of quality of service parameters and measurement methods existed, consumers could make more informed choices and a corresponding reduction in complaints could be expected. Article 22 of the Universal Service Directive requires Member States to “ensure that national regulatory authorities are […] able to require undertakings […] to publish comparable, adequate and up-to-date information for end-users on the quality of their services […]”. Article 22 also states that “regulatory authorities may specify […] the quality of service parameters to be measured” and that “authorities are able to set minimum quality of service requirements”. Therefore, facilitating comparability and supporting NRAs in the selection of information to be published are very important actions in order to fulfil the requirements of the Directive.

All rights reserved. Brief excerpts may be reproduced or translated provided the source is cited. ISBN 92-9131-667-9 (print) ISBN 92-9197-667-9 (online) Foreword A number of innovative products for making payments have been developed in recent years, taking advantage of rapid technological progress and financial market development. Transactions made using these innovative products are accounting for an increasing proportion of the volume and value of domestic and cross-border retail payments. The possibility of electronic money taking over from physical cash for most small-value payments continues to evoke considerable interest among both the public and the various authorities concerned, including central banks. Although e-money has not been a very dynamic area in the field of retail payments recently, its development raises policy issues for central banks as regards payment system oversight, the possible implications for central banks’ revenues and the implementation of monetary policy. In view of these potential policy concerns, in 1996 the G10 central bank Governors announced their intention to closely monitor the evolution of electronic money schemes and products and, while respecting competition and innovation, to take any appropriate action if necessary. The Governors asked the BIS to monitor the developments of these new products on a regular and, as far as possible, global basis.

  • Chapter III. Access to and Use of Information Technologies
    MEASURING THE INFORMATION ECONOMY 2002 37 Chapter III. Access to and use of information technologies The contribution of the information economy to economic growth and performance also depends on the way new information technologies are used by individuals and businesses. Greater use of ICT in the production process may, for example, help raise the overall efficiency of the use of capital and labour, e.g. by reducing inventories and transaction costs. For technologies based on networks, such as the Internet, the more people who are connected, the greater the potential benefits of the network owing to spillover effects. Statistics on the diffusion of new information technologies are therefore important for helping to evaluate the extent to which their use has an impact on overall economic performance. Also, the growing interest of policy makers in issues such as universal access, the digital divide, consumer trust and privacy protection has raised demand for indicators on access to and use of ICT. Access is a prerequisite to the use of the technology. The first indicators in this chapter compare developments in telecommunication networks. Others focus more specifically on the size and growth of Internet infrastructure. The 1990s have witnessed extremely dynamic expansion in telecommunication networks, although differences among OECD countries remain and depend partly on the relative pricing structure and the level of competition for a particular access technology. For international comparisons of ICT usage statistics, important issues are still to be addressed (see Boxes 3.4 and 3.5), but national statistical offices have made tremendous progress in providing high-quality and timely indicators of ICT use.
