    An International Signaling Point Code (ISPC) is a unique, seven-
digit code synonymously used to identify the signaling network of each 
international carrier. The ISPC has a unique format that is used at the 
international level for signaling message routing and identification of 
signaling points. The Commission receives ISPC applications from 
international carriers on the electronic, Internet-based International 
Bureau Filing System (IBFS). After receipt of the ISPC application, the 
Commission assigns the ISPC code to each applicant (international 
carrier) free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. The 
collection of this information is required to assign a unique 
identification code to each international carrier and to facilitate 
communication among international carriers by their use of the ISPC 
code on the shared signaling network. The Commission informs the 
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) of its assignment of ISPCs 
to international carriers on an ongoing basis.
