Regulatory Principles. A surprising sixty-three of the sixty nine governments submitting schedules committed themselves to new domestic regulatory principles that are subject to international monitoring, bargaining, and dispute resolution. A full fifty-seven countries committed themselves in whole or with a few exceptions to the Reference Paper's language on competitive safeguards, interconnection, universal service, public availability of licensing criteria, independent regulators, and allocation and use of scarce resources. This was one of the most dramatic examples of progress as the GBT negotiations unfolded. In April 1996, when the NGBT ended unsuccessfully, forty-four governments had included regulatory commitments, and only thirty-one had signed on to the Reference Paper. To advocates of the GBT deal, the incorporation of regulatory principles into a trade policy framework is a remarkable and significant achievement. After all, the entire history of global telecommunications has involved states' jealously preserving sovereign prerogatives to regulate their national systems as they saw fit. The instruments of the international regime negotiated in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) positioned sovereignty as an overarching principle, and governments sought to insulate their markets from foreign influence while reaping the benefits of international correspondence, e.g. by interconnecting monopoly systems at designated gateways and jointly providing services on a non- competitive basis. With the shift to a trade framework of global governance, the new forms of international service delivery require what have been called "beyond the border" and "deep integration" measures. Accordingly, GBT members have bound themselves to make their domestic regulatory institutions and rules consistent with multilateral trade disciplines and transnational market forces. It is easy to imagine that much of the agreement=s thrust might have been frustrated in practice without these regulatory obligations. For example, offering market access via commercial presence or cross- border delivery might mean little without an internationally recognized right to interconnect with other public telecommunications transport networks and services, or without mandatory access to licensing criteria.
