Definitions and disclaimers CIS – Commonwealth of Independent States; DC – Developing countries; DOs – Designated operators; IC - Industrialized Countries; Some graphs show a decline, which appears to indicate that

there are less operators offering services than in previousyears. This is not necessarily the case. The reason is that thenew responses received from DOs are from less developedmarkets, where direct marketing services are not yet offeredas a product.

The accuracy of the data received from the Posts could notalways be verified. Further adjustments may be necessary.
