Relationship among Service Providers and Carriers Among industry, academic expert discussants: Expert panels will focus on the upcoming World Trade Organization
service negotiations and the dispute over Internet charging in the
Asia-Pacific Region. Since the adoption of the GATS Basic Telecoms Services Agreement
under the (WTO), public Internet and private IP networks have
experienced explosive growth in use and economic significance. Demand
for international data circuits has skyrocketed and has surpassed voice
in many critical routes. The growing economic and social significance of the public Internet
has led to increasing demand for regulatory intervention, particularly
where some providers offer services viewed as competitive to those
provided by incumbent, regulated carriers. Moreover, in areas such as
privacy and content, governments are showing increasing inclination
toward regulation. Each of these developments could influence the
Internet's future growth and evolution. More from the CSIS
