Abstract
A method for monitoring telephone completion data to forecast the economic benefit realized in increasing international telephone call completion. The method includes a model for evaluating carried calling loads realized from a domestic origination point to an international end destination. The method factors various network blocking loads, international telephone answer seizure ratios (ASR), and a calculated volume of ineffective call attempts in evaluating the economic benefit realized from increasing international telephone trunk capacity and/or rendering improvements for foreign internal telephone network ASR. The method also incorporates a model for evaluating calling loads over given calling hours for given calling days of giving calling months; a revenue and expense model for approximating the economic benefits realized from increasing telephone trunk capacity and/or improving foreign internal telephone network ASR; and a model for acknowledging the benefits realized from a proportional return of telephone call load from a foreign telecommunications administrator relative to the increase in telephone trunk capacity and/or improvements to foreign internal telephone network ASR.
