This research investigates the relation of pricing                           policies for international telecommunications services to                       U.S. competitiveness, capacity utilization, and technological                   development of telecommunications facilities.  The research                     is empirical, but is based on theoretical modeling of                           international trade, econometric analysis and case studies.                     The study uses pooled time-series and cross-section data for                    prices, international traffic, and other variables to examine                   (a) the demand for telecommunications services by country of                    origin in the U.S. and 17 Western European countries, (b) the                   determinants of current pricing policy, (c) determinants of                     the division of revenues between U.S. carriers and foreign                      carriers, (d) the effects of alternative pricing structures                     on economic efficiency and on the distribution of gains and                     costs to users, and (e) the effects of pricing and revenue                      sharing arrangements on future net dollar outflows (in 1985                     over $900 million were paid by U.S. carriers in net                             settlements with worldwide foreign counterparts).                                  The research is significant and timely in that it examines                   a number of issues that will affect information technology                      development and use.  The research results will provide a                       foundation on which important policy decisions can be based.
