NSIAD-84-2 1 (1983-10-07)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabegm0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THEUS' General Accounting Office Assessment Of Bilateral Telecommunications Agreements With Japan GAO reviewed implementation of the U.S.- Japan Agreement on NTT Procurement and the Understanding on Japan's Interconnect Market, both of which became effective January 1, 1981. Through these agree- ments, Japan opened to foreign competition its domestic telecommunications market. Although sales of U.S.-made equipment to NTT, Japan's government-run telecommuni- cations corporation, have not met U.S. Gov- ernment expectations, American business still believes it can use the Agreement to penetrate the NTT market. U.S. firms gener- ally favor extending the Agreement beyond its December 31, 1983 termination date. Although obtaining NTT approval to sell and install interconnect equipment in Japan can be time consuming and expensive, Ameri- can suppliers believe NTT is acting in good faith in implementing the Interconnect Market Understanding and see future sales potential in Japan. 122557 C.))
