Abstract :
In addition to discussion of the emergence of service level agreement (SLA) studies for 3G networks, the paper concerns three issues: design of a global SLA index for interconnection regulation on the basis of the "gold-silver-bronze" approach; developing an approach to choose a subset of informative quality indicators; and a compensation and penalty scheme. As a "best practice" the 30-year long Verizon NY experience on QoS regulation is discussed.
