通信技術標準에 관한 韓美協商의 示唆點

초록

The recent Korea-US disputes over technical standards on telecom services is a typical case of trade negotiations that realizes us the importance of standardization in services area from the national perspectives. They make a matter of concern from the viewpoint of trade law in that they entail plenty of dissenting opinions between the two countries about the jurisdiction over technical standards on telecom services and their compatibility with WTO agreements as well. Additionally, it may be asserted that practical experiences accumulated during the negotiations will do much towards preparing desirable guidelines to cope with the possible issues on the technical standards in international trade negotiations such as DDA and FTA's. With these motivations, this paper seeks to learn lessons for trade law and negotiation strategies through analyzing the Korea-US disputes over WIPI and movements in other international trade negotiations over technical standards in telecom services area.
