RECEIVING PARTY PAYS (RPP)

Statistics Directorate    
Definition:
The convention under which the party receiving a communication pays all or most of the end-to-end cost of the communication. In particular, in the mobile sector, this is used to refer to the case where the receiving party pays the "airtime charge" for termination on the mobile handset. In this case the originating or calling party may still pay for a local call. Compare with CPP.
