Telecommunications-Related Services: Market Access, Deeper Integration and the WTO

Carlos A P Braga, Carsten Fink and Bernard Hoekman

No 158, HWWA Discussion Papers from Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWA)

Abstract: Liberalization and regulatory reform of telecom markets has emerged as a high profile policy issue. This paper analyzes how the multilateral system under the World Trade Organization can help developing countries in promoting their own information infrastructures. We focus on a specific ?regime? issue that has attracted increasing attention in recent years: the extent to which the WTO should pursue a ?deeper integration? agenda, using telecommunications and activities that rely heavily on telecommunications as a specific case.
