Foreword
We are delighted to present this third edition of the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) World Telecommunication Development Report on the theme of trade in telecommunications. The negotiations on basic telecommunication services, carried out under the auspices of the World Trade Organisation, have made the topic of telecommunications trade highly visible. The successful conclusion of the negotiations suggests that the value of trade in telecommunications, already worth more than US$ 100 billion in 1996, will expand at a faster rate in the latter part of the decade.
