The OECD uses a “basket” methodology to compare retail prices of telecommunication services across countries. The methodology is used to compare the price of a defined consumption pattern of telecommunication services across operators in OECD countries. The baskets are reviewed and revised periodically as consumption patterns change. This 2009 revision to the basket composition is the result of discussions among operators and regulators and will serve as the basis for price comparisons for several years.
