permit automated switching of data traffic to particular networks. The 
Commission grants the DNIC's to operators of public data networks on an 
international protocol. The operators of public data networks file an 
application for a DNIC on the Internet-based, International Bureau 
Filing System (IBFS). The DNIC is obtained free of charge on a one-time 
only basis unless there is a change in ownership or the owner chooses 
to relinquish the code to the Commission.

synonymous with a telephone area code that identifies each 
international carrier. The Commission assigns ISPC's to international 
carriers in response to their filing of an ISPC application on the 
electronic, Internet-based International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). 
The Commission issues the code to international carriers free of charge 
on a first-come, first-served basis and informs the International 
Telecommunications Union (ITU) of its actions.
