A Review of Market Openness and Trade in Telecommunications
The aim of this paper is twofold. First, to begin a policy and regulatory evaluation of
developments in telecommunication market openness following the liberalisation in 1998 in the context of
the WTO agreement and the liberalisation in the European Union. Second, it is aimed at stimulating
reflection on the issues that may need to be examined to enhance market liberalisation and market
openness. Although a full assessment of recent market opening may be too premature, there are
nevertheless indications of areas where further consideration and action may be required. In addition
market developments are raising a number of issues which are likely to become relevant in the event that
there are further discussions on market opening in the context of any future WTO service negotiations. As
a paper aimed at beginning discussion and reflection, a number of questions are raised which could be used
by delegations to provide their own assessment of issues and future problem areas which need
consideration.
