In proposing these standards, we wish to foster efficient and innovative satellite communications services for U.S. users through fair competition among multiple service providers, including nonU.S. service providers. In recognition of the liberalization of the global telecommunications market under the WTO Basic Telecom Agreement, we propose to rely on competitive market forces rather than an analysis of effective competitive opportunities abroad in evaluating requests to serve the United States using WTO member satellite systems. To ensure our ability to use telecommunication standards in the United States where the WTO Basic Telecom Agreement does not apply, we propose to apply an ECOSat analysis where requests to serve the United States involve nonWTO satellite systems, IGO satellite systems, or services exempt from mostfavorednation obligations under the WTO Basic Telecom Agreement. In proposing this framework, we aim to promote greater market access, to foster fair competition, and to ensure lower prices, better service, and more innovative service offerings for U.S. users and competitors.
