Telecommunications, trade and TDF

Telecommunications Policy, 1985, vol. 9, issue 4, 310-318

Abstract: Trade in telecommuncations and computing services, particularly trade in data-related services, offers potential for economic growth in all sectors. This article raises a number of issues which need to be settled in international fora before the greatest benefits can be reaped. Differing national regulations, international competition, treatment of data as a commodity, the role of trade in the services economy and legal questions are explored. The author suggests that international agreement on trade in telecommunications and computing services could provide the basis for a 'core' agreement on trade in services.
