Carrier pre-selection meaning

What does Carrier pre-selection mean?
Carrier pre-selection (CPS) is a fixed-line telephony facility that lets a customer choose, in advance, a particular communications provider to carry certain classes of outbound calls (for example, national, international or mobile calls), without dialling a routing prefix or using any different procedure. The chosen provider must have a contract with the customer and typically bills for those pre-selected calls, while the underlying access line may remain with another operator. In legal and regulatory practice, CPS is an industry term reflected in regulatory conditions and directions (rather than primary legislation or case law). In the UK, Ofcom has historically imposed CPS-related obligations, especially on operators with significant market power. In Ireland, ComReg has adopted similar measures under the EU electronic communications framework. Usage and effect are broadly consistent across England & Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Key features include: prior customer selection and consent; application to defined call types; no need for dial-through prefixes; and obligations on access providers to enable CPS where required. CPS commonly arises in disputes about switching, slamming/mis-selling, billing and access to wholesale inputs. It is now largely legacy, with many obligations and services being withdrawn as PSTN services migrate to IP (VoIP) and the UK PSTN...

Using Incoterms 2020 in Trade Finance: A Lawyer’s Guide to Delivery, Risk, Insurance, Letters of Credit, Repos, Pre‑Export Finance and Common Pitfalls

What are Incoterms and what is their origin? Incoterms—short for ‘International Commercial Terms’—are a set of globally recognised trading terms used in international, and at times domestic, contracts for buying and selling goods. They comprise 11 three‑letter abbreviations, each standing for a distinct package of provisions that apportion duties, costs and risks within a sale and purchase agreement. The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) publishes rules that interpret Incoterms and explain the meaning of each term. First issued in 1936, these rules are updated from time to time to mirror developments in trading practices. In September 2019, the ICC released the most recent edition, Incoterms 2020, effective from 1 January 2020 (although parties could opt to apply the 2020 rules earlier if they wished). For the complete text of the 2020 rules, see the following Practice Notes: Incoterms® 2020—introduction Incoterms® 2020 Rules—EXW Ex works Incoterms® 2020 Rules—FCA Free Carrier Incoterms® 2020 Rules—CPT Carriage paid to Incoterms® 2020 Rules—CIP Carriage and insurance paid...

This Practice Note sets out categories of documents that serve both as a document of title and as an instrument under which goods are carried across borders. Instruments under which goods are carried, and those evidencing title to goods, are vital to the efficient operation of international trade.

Denton, AO, ICC Secretary General Expansion of the global economy has offered most companies unprecedented access to markets worldwide.
