Summary of Globe Wireless AA services:

When acting on behalf of a maritime mobile station for which it has accepted responsibility, Globe Wireless shall be responsible for:

• Obtaining payment of the collection charges for maritime mobile communications from the maritime mobile station
• Guaranteeing payment of the collection charges to the service providers for traffic originated by the maritime mobile station, ensuring that these payments are made in accordance with the ITU Regulations and Recommendation ITU-D.90.
• Maintaining up-to-date and accurate records of the maritime mobile stations for which it has responsibility. Any change in status, ownership, termination, or commencement of contract must be made known immediately to interested and regularly used service providers as well as to the Administration that licensed the maritime mobile station. Where changes have occurred, a new and updated list of maritime mobile stations should be issued by the Accounting Authority at least every 90-days to interested and regularly used service providers and to the Administration who licensed the maritime mobile station, with changes to the previously issued information clearly indicated. Alternately, a no change notification may be issued. The updated information should consist of the following:
  -  Satellite identity number/ship callsign
  -  Ship/mobile name
  -  Commencement date
  -  Termination date
  -  Previous agent or new agent
  -  Ship owner
• Ensuring that its Accounting Authority Identification Code (AAIC) is known by all Administrations recognizing it and all maritime mobile stations for which it is responsible.
• Notifying service providers and the Administration which has licensed the maritime mobile station concerned, as soon as it has been established that it is unable to collect payment from that maritime mobile station. This information will enable the service providers to cease accepting calls from that maritime mobile station in order to prevent additional debt.
