Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., New York, Oxford, Wien. Under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Telecommunications Services, 72 member states have made commitments with regard to the increasing international competition in the telecommunications sector. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the regulatory framework at a multilateral level. It deals with the growing importance and the technological evolution of the telecommunications sector. Furthermore, it describes the negotiations on telecommunications at WTO level. The book gives insights into the provisions of the Annex on Telecommunications and describes their impact on the services industry. Moreover, the commitments relating to basic telecommunications are analyzed. The author specifically examines the reference paper which sets out rules for competition in the telecommunications sector and interprets these provisions in the light of the existing multilateral rules. Contents: WTO/ITU - Annex on Telecommunications - Schedule of Commitments on Basic Telecommunications - Reference Paper - Competition Law - Telecommunications Law.

Download or read book The Telecoms Trade War written by Mark Naftel and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the efforts of the US and the EU to implement the WTO Basic Agreement on Telecommunications Services, and how these initiatives to open up local markets affect markets for international telecoms services. Naftel (a telecommunications lawyer) and Spiwak (a policy consultant) report that the telecoms trade war is close to getting out of hand and that there is a growing politicization of, and cynicism towards the regulatory process. Their contention is that many post- WTO regulatory initiatives ultimately harm consumers. The text is divided into sections on the analytical and legal framework, US and European efforts to promote competition, and case studies in regulatory cynicism. Distributed by ISBS. c.

Download or read book Unfinished Business written by Gary Clyde Hufbauer and published by Peterson Institute. This book was released on 1997 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1997, 69 countries accounting for 95 percent of world telecommunications traffic agreed to open their basic telecommunications service markets. In April 1997, 28 countries accounting for 80 percent of world trade in information technology (IT) goods agreed to eliminate tariffs on IT goods by January 2000. These two agreements represent significant steps toward global telecommunication liberalization. The agreements also mark the beginning of new battles that will determine the extent of competition and reform in the telecommunications industry in the 21st century. Although implementation of the two pacts will be phased in over several years, some signatory countries are already facing a backlash from local telecommunications companies and equipment suppliers. Hence the issue remains highly contentious around the world. In this volume, leading scholars from different countries offer their assessments of the two new agreements. They also predict the evolution of the telecommunications industry in the years ahead. The volume provides essential background on future developments in this dynamic and crucial sector, and suggests ways in which it can be shaped to provide maximum benefits for the world economy.

One month ago the WTO concluded an historic agreement in which 69 countries committed to open their telecom markets to competition & to foreign investment. All but 4 of these countries committed to pro-competitive regulatory principles that will govern the provision of basic telecom services. The pro-competition principles include competition safeguards, the right to interconnect, competitively neutral universal service rules, publicly available licensing criteria, independent regulators & nondiscriminatory allocation of scarce resources. This agreement was modeled after U.S. telecom policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the creation and implementation of the February 1997 World Trade Organization Agreement on Basic Telecommunications Services (the February Accord or WTO Agreement), the international telecommunications community has (at least on paper) promised ostensibly to move away from markets characterized by monopolies and toward a world of competition and deregulation. The big question, however, is whether these efforts will actually lead to better economic performance in the market for international telecommunications products and services. The purpose of this Article is to examine one particular, yet extremely significant, portion of this inquiry - how much have U.S. international ecommunications policies specifically helped or hindered this process. This Article, after surveying Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) precedent from the FCC's first major international policy decision (International Competitive Carrier) through the FCC's implementation of the WTO Agreement (January 1, 1998), concludes that despite a few laudable achievements, several key problematic themes run throughout this time period. In particular, the FCC's efforts have been marred by both the demonstrable rise of neo-mercantilism over the past several years at the expense of consumer welfare, and substantial legal and economic analytical inconsistencies and outright errors resulting from the FCC's embarrassing attempts to implement and defend this neo-mercantilist policy. By adopting such economically flawed policies, therefore, the United States has achieved neither trade policy's basic goals of promoting U.S. investment abroad nor the maximization of consumer welfare under the FCC's public interest mandate. Tragically, the only tangible achievement apparently has been the delay of effective World Trade Organization (WTO) implementation of the WTO Agreement and the rise of international ill-will against the United States and, a fortiori, U.S. firms. To examine these issues in greater detail, this Article is comprised of three analytical strands: (1) The FCC's formulation, adaptation and modification of its International Competitive Carrier (also known as "dominant" carrier) paradigm during this period; (2) the FCC's policies toward international accounting rates and the implementation and adaptation of its International Settlement Policy (ISP) during this period; and (3) the FCC's attempts to reconcile and distinguish these sometimes contradictory, yet sometimes complementary, policies in the context of carrier-specific adjudications. Each of these strands will be examined in both a pre- and post-WTO context.
