A general assembly of the European Institute of Telecommunication Standards (ETSI) that took place on November 27th, 2007 accepted the Joint-Stock Company "Peter-Service" into its organization. Simultaneously, Peter-Service became a full participant of the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project), whose primary goal is to develop technical specifications for the realization of third generation networks based on modern mobile technologies.

The Joint-Stock Company Peter-Service is one of leading suppliers of conversion billing solutions which provide control services in real time. As Peter-Service solutions have traditionally been created on the basis of industrial standards and recommendations, this new status will allow the company to directly participate in the development of new system standards as they are related to OSS/BSS.

ETSI is recognized by the European Commission as the regulating body engaged in the development of telecommunication standards. The infrastructure of this noncommercial organization includes almost 700 members from 60 countries around the world. According to ETSI Director Charles Khajntsa Rozenbroka, "developed standards... promote the integration developments of a telecommunication infrastructure, the compatibility achievements of telecommunication equipment terminals and, thus, increase the different types of new technologies which are possible to be integrated within telecommunication networks." ETSI standards are developed on the basis of a consensus which considers the interests of all participating parties.

Admission to ETSI includes a partnership with 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project). Among the project's focuses is the development of interface specifications in the interests of network communication operators.

The introduction of Peter-Service into ETSI/3GPP is an important step in the progress of decisions based on interface standards. The company now has new prospects, and consumers of billing solutions can count on products with competitive advantages and reduced costs and expenses for creating and maintaining various interfaces.
