Since the revolution in modern telecommunications that followed the invention of the telegraph, telecommunication networks have provided channels for the fast delivery of communications across national borders. This transnational nature of telecommunication networks have led to the establishment of international regulatory regimes on the subject. On the other hand, developing countries consider regional economic integration as a major strategy for promoting trade and development, telecommunications have been seen within this context as a strategic tool for facilitating regional economic integration. This has also led to the establishment of regional telecommunication regulatory regimes that aim to promote regional integration and regulatory harmonization. This book discusses telecommunication regimes established by international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, the World Trade Organization, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the Southern African Development Community, among a number of others. It will be relevant to policy makers, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors and telecommunication operators, as well as any person interested in international and African regional telecommunication regimes.

Designed to provide the legal practitioner with the basic tools to understand the international telecommunications field, this document was originally prepared in connection with the 1983 Conference on International Telecommunications. An introductory chapter focuses on where policy is made and lists international organizations involved with telecommunications policy; United States Government Executive Branch Agencies, their functions, and staff; and relevant congressional committees and their key members, staff, and current interest in international telecommunications. Other pertinent legislative branch organizations are also described. Separate chapters then cover the International Telecommunication Union, regulatory environment, transborder data flow, telecommunications and trade policy, and intellectual property. For each topic, an introductory essay describing important developments and major concerns is followed by selected materials which include United States laws, regulations, and proposed legislation; judicial and administrative decisions; treaties and agreements; a description of the ongoing activities of key international organizations; a description of the Executive Branch Interagency and Public Advisory Committees; a selected bibliography; and additional information. A glossary and conclusions are provided. (LMM)
