Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Network Aspects (NA)
Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
In analogy with CCITT Recommendation I.130 (refer to annex A), the first stage of the following three level
structure is used to describe the telecommunications service as provided by European public
telecommunications operators.
- Stage 1: is an overall service description, from the service subscriber's and user's stand-point;
- Stage 2: identifies the functional capabilities and information flows needed to support the service
described in stage 1; and
- Stage 3: defines the signalling system protocols and switching functions needed to implement the
service described in stage 1.
This ETS details the stage 1 aspects (overall service description) for the Televoting (VOT) service, taking
into account the various network architectures, e.g. Intelligent Network (IN).
The application of stage 2 and stage 3 may be different when the service is supported on an IN
environment.

1 Scope
General
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) defines the stage 1 description of the Televoting
(VOT) service. Stage 1 is an overall service description, primarily from the service subscriber's and user's
point of view, but does not deal with the details of the human interface itself. This ETS includes
information applicable to network operators, service providers and terminal, switch and database
manufacturers.
This ETS specifies the requirements where the service is provided to the user via a telecommunications
network that is either the pan European Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) or any other Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) as provided by European public telecommunications operators.
The requirements different from those of the basic call where the VOT service is provided to the user via a
mobile network are outside the scope of this ETS. However, if calls to the VOT service originate or
terminate in a mobile network and any special procedure above those for the basic calls has to be
performed, this should be stated in the subclause 7.1 dealing with the interworking between ISDNs,
PSTNs and mobile networks.
This ETS contains the core requirements for the VOT service which are sufficient to provide a complete
service.
This ETS also documents some additional requirements which can be implemented (but do not have to be
implemented).
Furthermore, additional functionalities not documented in this ETS may be implemented. The
requirements of which are considered outside the scope of this ETS and consequently outside the scope
of the corresponding stage 2 and stage 3 standards. This additional functionality may be on a
network-wide basis, or particular to one or a group of users. Such additional functionality shall not
compromise conformance to the core requirements of the service.
Charging principles are outside the scope of this ETS, unless specific service requirements are stated.
These requirements deal with the allocation of certain call charges to particular users.
Interactions with services/supplementary services not listed in clauses 8 and 9 are outside the scope of
this ETS.
Interactions between optional VOT service features and ISDN supplementary services are outside the
scope of this ETS, unless specific indication is given.
Definition and applicability
The VOT service allows a service subscriber to know the number of calls placed to particular numbers
during the time period of a televoting event (e.g. giving the service subscriber the capability to survey the
opinion of the caller using the telephone network).
The VOT service is applicable to all telecommunication services using the CCITT Recommendation
E.164 [2] numbering plan.
If this ETS is applicable to the stage 2 and stage 3 standards for the VOT service, where the text indicates
the status of a requirement (i.e. as strict command or prohibition, as authorization leaving freedom, as a
capability or a possibility), this shall be reflected in the relevant stage 2 and stage 3 standards.
Conformity to this ETS is implicitly covered by the conformity of the underlying protocols to their
specifications.

a set of destinations according to other optional service features as defined by the service subscriber in
the running record. A Routing area may coincide or may be a subset of the catchment area.
running record: A record containing the service subscriber parameters used by the service and currently
in operation.
service feature: Specific aspect of a telecommunication service that can also be used in conjunction with
other telecommunication services or service features as part of a commercial offering. It is either a core
part of a telecommunication service or an optional part offered as an enhancement to a
telecommunication service.

5 Description
5.1 Core requirements
The VOT service allows a service subscriber to know the number of calls placed to particular televoting
number(s) during a televoting event (e.g. giving the service subscriber the capability to survey the opinion
of the caller using the telephone network).
One or more televoting numbers are assigned to the televoting event and activated for the time period(s)
requested by the service subscriber.
Each call completed to a televoting number increases a counter related to the dialled televoting number.
When a call is completed, the calling user shall receive an acknowledgement (e.g. an announcement).
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST ETS 300 713 E1:2003
Page 12
ETS 300 713: March 1997
After the televoting event is finished, the number of calls registered during the event shall be made
available to the service subscriber.
NOTE: Mass calling is a call flow control feature that is used by network operators to enable
processing of instantaneous and high-volume traffic. This feature cannot be
subscribed to by the service subscriber.
5.2 Optional requirements
The optional requirements contain functionalities additional to the core requirements, that customize the
service according to specific service subscriber's need. These additional parts may be offered either to all
the service provider's customers, or to a group or even to a single customer.
Some possible optional service features are listed hereafter, but the service provider may offer other
optional service features.
5.2.1 Televoting event partial result presentation
Partial result may be given to the service subscriber while the televoting event is in progress. This
information will be required on demand or at predefined time intervals.
5.2.2 One user's Multiple Calls Restrictions (MCR)
This feature prevents a calling user from placing two calls in a given time period to a given called
number(s).
5.2.3 Origin Dependent Control (ODC)
This feature enables the service subscriber to specify the origination from which the service may be used.
Such selection may be based for instance:
- on the geographical area the call originates from;
- on the calling line identity, using a screening blacklist (calls are rejected when calling line identity is
found in the screening list);
- on the calling line identity, using a screening whitelist (calls are rejected when calling line identity is
not found in the screening list).
5.2.4 Origin Dependent Routing (ODR)
This feature enables the service subscriber to split the service catchment area into different Routing
areas, and to specify the Routing destination(s) for each Routing area. The Routing areas may be
specified by the service subscriber.
5.2.5 Time Dependent Routing (TDR)
This feature allows the service subscriber to specify the Routing destination(s) according to a selected
time interval. At a given point in time, an originated call is routed to the destination as defined for the time
interval in which the given point in time matches. The time interval may be specified by the service
subscriber.
NOTE: The time interval may for instance take into account the day of year, day of week, time
of day.

ETS 300 713: March 1997
5.2.6 Call Distribution (CD)
This feature allows the service subscriber to specify the distribution mechanisms for calls to be shared
between different destinations.
NOTE: Distribution mechanisms may be for example:
- managed according to the availability of destination users to be able to accept
the calls;
- circular distribution, where calls are routed to the different destinations with a
uniform load;
- percentage distribution, where calls are routed to the different destinations
according to a percentage.
5.2.7 Originating User Prompter (OUP)
This feature enables to prompt the user to enter information to be used by the service logic to continue the
process of the call.
5.2.8 Customer Profile Management (CPM)
This feature allows the service subscriber to manage one or several handling profiles (televoting non-
running records currently not in operation) and to control which record is running or not running.
If the service provider does not permit the service subscriber to own several profiles, i.e. does not
implement non-running records, this feature
