Usage examples

1. ... the Portuguese authorities have misjudged the need to rebalance the tariffs of voice-telephony. It would appear that the average cost of a local call in Portugal is comparable to that in the UK, Belgium, Denmark and Austria but is higher than that in Germany and the Netherlands. On the other land, the cost of a long-distance call is 43 % higher than the European average.
2. Given that owing to technical progress in the network, cost is increasingly less dependent on distance, cost orientation of tariffs means as a general rule that prices are adjusted such that revenues are rebalanced with costs, i.e.: - connection and rental revenues cover fixed costs (plus a standard margin), - local call revenues cover local call costs (plus standard margin), - trunk call revenues cover trunk calls (plus standard margin), - international call revenues cover international call costs (plus standard margin).
