| Section 1377 Review |
| Section
1377 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 requires USTR to
review, by March 31 of each year, the operation and effectiveness of
U.S.
telecommunications trade agreements. The purpose of the review is to determine
whether any act, policy, or practice of a foreign country that has entered into
a telecommunications-related agreement with the United States (1) is not in
compliance with the terms of the agreement or (2) otherwise denies, within the
context of the agreement, mutually advantageous market opportunities to
telecommunications products and services of U.S. firms in that
country. |
