These licenses were issued under the Commission's revised foreign entry rules adopted last November in order to give effect to the United States' commitments under the World Trade Organization Agreement on Basic Telecommunications Services (WTO Agreement). The 1997 WTO Agreement, which took effect in February, reflects the commitment of the United States and 71 other signatories to significantly increase competition in the global market for telecommunications services, including satellite services. The signatories to the WTO Agreement account for over 90 percent of the worldwide revenues in telecommunications services. By opening these markets, the WTO Agreement will allow new entrants to deploy innovative, costeffective technologies and advance the development of new services, such as satellite services, around the globe. "These licenses are a tangible example of the new competitive arena for global telecommunications, and of the FCC's commitment to ensuring that U.S. consumers have the opportunity to choose among competing providers of satellite and other telecommunications services. We look forward to reviewing the applications of many more potential licensees in the near future," stated Regina M. Keeney, Chief of the FCC's International Bureau. These earth station licenses were granted under the Commission's new open entry standards implementing the WTO Agreement. As a result, various entities, including Williams Communications, EDS Spectrum Corporation, and MFS International, have been authorized to use satellite systems licensed in countries such as Mexico and Canada to provide fixed satellite services in the United States and between the United States and foreign destinations. These operations will commence later this year. X+,,,XXD+3X!.6 nter 16.67cpi (LegaXԌ The Commission also continues to encourage foreign countries to implement their WTO commitments and to adopt procompetitive regulatory policies. The International Bureau has held a series of telecommunications workshops for international regulators from a range of countries. The workshops are designed to facilitate dialogue and the sharing of information between regulatory authorities, with the goal of fostering development of procompetitive regulatory policies in markets throughout the world.  qԩ FCC \ News Media contact: Rosemary Kimball at (202) 4180500.
