TS 13079

TS 13079 is a terminology standard prepared for internet service providing.

Why terminology matters in internet service provision

The terminology used in this area may include service types, connection methods, network components, subscription structures, and customer-facing concepts. Standardized terms and definitions help keep technical documents, contracts, training materials, and service descriptions aligned.
