This action is one in a series of deregulatory steps taken by the Commission following the entry into force of the 1997 World Trade Organization's Agreement on Basic Telecommunications Services.  Y -xIn 1996, the Commission approved ten percent equity investments each by France Telecom (FT) and Deutsche Telekom (DT) in Sprint. In granting the petition, however, the Commission concluded that Sprint's alliance with DT and FT, at that time the monopoly carriers in Germany and France respectively, created an unfair advantage over other U.S. carriers offering services to those markets. The Commission therefore imposed a number of conditions and safeguards on Sprint's operation on the U.S.-France and U.S.Germany routes, including regulation as a dominant carrier for the provision of service on these routes. xThe Commission issued new rules, effective February 9, 1998, dramatically liberalizing entry by foreign telecommunications carriers and investors into the U.S. telecommunications market. These new rules, adopted in response to the WTO Agreement on Basic Telecommunications Services, promise to increase competition significantly in the U.S. telecommunications market. In light of these new rules and the fact that France and Germany now allow competition in all aspects of the relevant telecommunications market, the International Bureau determined that DT's and FT's investment in Sprint would no longer have a significant potential impact on competition in the U.S. market for international services. As a result, the Bureau concluded that dominant carrier regulation and other special conditions are no longer required to prevent anticompetitive behavior by DT and FT on the U.S.Germany and U.S.France routes, respectively. xRegina M. Keeney, Chief of the International Bureau, said "The Bureau's action underscores the United States' leadership in opening global telecommunications markets to competition. We believe that continued liberalization and deregulation of the international services market will yield substantial benefits for U.S. consumers." xAction by the Chief, International Bureau, June 25, 1998, by Declaratory Ruling and Order (DA 981231). $H ,, Ԑ?ԩ FCC -TPxNews Media contact: Rosemary Kimball at (202) 418-0500. xInternational Bureau contact: Laurie Sherman at (202) 418-0429."Q%.''N N p&"ԌT
