numbering – digital, letter, character symbols or their combinations, including the codes intended for determination (identification) of network of telecommunication and (or) its elements;

ensuring operational readiness of radio-frequency range – organizational engineering procedure on operational management by use of radio-frequency range and to ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of radio-electronic means and (or) high-frequency devices on the appropriated (assigned) radio frequencies or radio-frequency channels;

objects of telecommunication – the complexes of means of telecommunication and constructions of telecommunication used when rendering services of telecommunication;

restriction of functioning of networks of telecommunication and the means of telecommunication incoming them – reducing time and (or) amounts of use of networks of telecommunication and means of telecommunication incoming them attached to network of telecommunication of general use (change of operation modes of means of telecommunication, amounts of the rendered services of telecommunication, including ensuring access to Internet resources);

the terminal subscriber unit (terminal) – the technical device of the user of services of telecommunication intended for connection to network of telecommunication for the purpose of ensuring access to telecommunication services;

the operator of universal servicing – the operator of telecommunication who is granted the right to rendering universal services of telecommunication;

the operator of telecommunication – the legal entity or the individual entrepreneur rendering services of telecommunication based on license for activities in the field of communication;

the user of radio-frequency range – legal entity or physical person which is granted the right to use band of radio frequencies, the radio-frequency channel or radio frequency;

the user of services of telecommunication – legal or (and) the physical person ordering services of telecommunication and (or) using them;

the service provider of telecommunication – the legal entity or the individual entrepreneur providing services of telecommunication for which rendering are not required receipts of license for activities in the field of communication;

suspension of functioning of networks of telecommunication and the means of telecommunication incoming them – the temporary termination of use of networks of telecommunication and the means of telecommunication incoming them attached to network of telecommunication public;

assignment (assignment) of radio frequency or the radio-frequency channel – the decision on possibility of use specific radio frequency or the radio-frequency channel with indication of specific radio-electronic means and (or) the high-frequency device, the purposes and conditions of such use;

the omission of the international traffic – the activities directed to telecommunication transmission of messages (including telephone calls, cable messages, office and information messages, network packets of data communication networks without restrictions on the used user, transport and network protocols) between networks of telecommunication of the Republic of Belarus and networks of telecommunication of foreign states, and also between networks of telecommunication of foreign states if transmission of messages of telecommunication from one foreign state in another is performed through the networks of telecommunication located in the territory of the Republic of Belarus;

the omission of internetwork traffic – the activities directed to telecommunication transmission of messages (including telephone calls, cable messages, office and information messages, network packets of data communication networks without restrictions on the used user, transport and network protocols) between networks of telecommunication of the Republic of Belarus;

traffic transmission – the activities directed to transmission of messages of telecommunication between networks of telecommunication;

radio interference – the impact of electromagnetic energy on acceptance of radio waves caused by one or several radiations and which is shown in any quality degradation, errors or losses of information which could be avoided in the absence of such impact;

radio service – organizational and technical set of the radio-electronic and other technical means providing the radiation, transfer and (or) acceptance of radio waves for particular purposes of telecommunication;

radio frequency – the frequency of electromagnetic oscillations accepted for designation of single component of radio-frequency range;

radio-frequency range – set of bands of radio frequencies, radio-frequency channels or radio frequencies which can be used for functioning of radio-electronic means and (or) high-frequency devices;
