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.
