Telecommunications Policy, 1999, vol. 23, issue 3-4, 335-344

Abstract: In spite of initial pessimistic analysis and observations, APEC has made sustained and collective efforts to overcome huge disparities in political, economic and cultural systems, and has achieved significant results in harmonising telecommunications policy and market liberalisation. This paper analyses how APEC member economies have overcome difficulties and have created unique approaches to establishing consensus and liberalising the telecommunications market in the region. Despite the current economic turmoil, APEC leaders are continuing in their efforts to advance the Asia Pacific Information Society (APIS). This paper also provides some perspectives on further development for the future.
