      "summary": "World telecommunications services trade is growing and evolving very rapidly, appearing to\ncorroborate expectations that the 1997 international agreement to liberalize trade in basic\ntelecommunications services would greatly increase world trade in those services. While the\nagreement, under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO), faces many obstacles to full\neffectiveness, it is expected to benefit the highly competitive U.S. telecommunications industries and\nfacilitate world economic growth. Congress, as always, is concerned that trading partners adhere to\ntheir commitments. Essentially no bills in the 107th Congress were directly related to this issue,\nhowever. This report will be updated as events warrant.",
