Measurement
The measurement of usage shall be on a per-call basis, per data session, etc. as applied to each of the Services. The chargeable unit for circuit based services shall be duration based i.e. minutes. For IP based services, the charging unit shall be based on the volume of data that is presented to the Inmarsat system for transmission or receipt by the subscriber in terms of bits of data. For other services, the charging unit shall be based on an event or such other defined transaction.

Minimum call duration, minimum data volume and billing increments
For voice, fax and low-data rate circuit switched traffic, the minimum call duration shall be 15 seconds and the billing increment shall be 15
For high-speed data circuit switched traffic, the minimum call duration shall be 10 seconds and the billing increment shall be 10 seconds;
For MPDS data traffic, the minimum data volume shall be Nil bytes and the billing increment shall be Nil bytes.
One CDR is produced for each circuit switched call and each ISDN call. A number of CDRs may be produced for each MPDS data session, depending on its duration and volume.

MPDS (Data per Mb):A Note regarding Megabits (Mb) and Megabytes (MB)
The MPDS prices reflect the cost to send/receive megabits (Mb) of data through the Inmarsat satellite network. Bits, kilobits, and megabits are typically used as the units of measure for Internet data rates (e.g., a 2.4 megabit per second connection) while byte, kilobytes, and megabytes (MB) are typically used to measure file size (e.g., a 10 MB file). As a point of reference, 1 byte is composed of 8 bits. However, for MPDS billing purposes, Inmarsat has elected to measure the data sent or received in megabits.

Please keep this in mind when calculating data costs when using the MPDS service. To convert the cost of megabits (Mb) to megabytes (MB), multiply the cost of Mb by 8

For your convenience we alredy wrote MB charges in the plan for reference but charges on invoice will be in Mb (Mega bit)
