call termination
Explanation:
as opposed to call origination

Call Termination, also known as voice termination, refers to the handing off or routing of calls from one telephone company, also known as a carrier or provider, to another telephone company.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_termination


Two Italian definition of interconnessione inversa are:

- i costi che gli operatori telefonici pagano quando un loro cliente chiama l'abbonato di un altro gestore

http://www.tgfin.mediaset.it/tgfin/ultimissima.shtml?nRC_14....

- prezzi di terminazione delle chiamate originate dai numeri della rete di Telecom e destinate ai numeri delle reti dei concorrenti

http://www.agcm.it/agcm_ita/COSTAMPA/COSTAMPA.NSF/0af75e5319...

There are a few instances of "inverse/reverse interconnection" but these all seem to appear on Italian websites (except Tiscali which is obviously a direct translation from the Italian website anyway)

Hi Pauley - this is where it gets confusing. My answer above comes directly from the Italian definition of the phrase but I'm fairly sure there's a standard EN way of saying this. I used to have an excellent FR>EN telephony glossary which may come in useful as a lot of the French terms are similar to the Italian but I can't seem to find it ...

Interconnection is a completely valid telephony term - there are usually two types of interconnection: direct and indirect

In fact I wonder if this is just another way of saying indirect interconnection ...

reverse interconnection


Explanation:
see:
from the site of the Italian competition authority:
http://www.agcm.it/agcm_eng/RELAZ/ANNRPT00.NSF/e2b875a66204e...

"Reverse interconnection relates to the fees received by Other Licensed Operators for terminating calls originated by Telecom Italia customers. In practice, Telecom Italia pays OLOs a share of the revenues from telephone traffic for calls originated by public switched network subscribers to numbers assigned to fixed networks managed by other operators."

Notes to answerer
Asker: thanks for the heard work, ivana. it looks like you're right about the inadequacy of "inverse" or "reverse" interconnection. how, then, would you translate "interconnessione diretta o inversa"?
