News> CANADIAN WIRELESS NEWS: (Source: "Report on Wireless") FSS competition to begin in Canada ahead of schedule Canada is hoping that its recent decision to accelerate cross-border competition in the fixed satellite services (FSS) market will send a strong message to the United States that it should do more to provide reciprocal competition. On December 15, Industry Canada decided to end Telesat Canada's monopoly as the sole Canadian FSS facility provider for domestic and cross-border satellite services, one year earlier than required by the World Trade Organization's Agreement of Basic Telecommunications. The FCC has been slow in approving Telesat's application to compete in the U.S. market.

Keith, you're right. The November 1997 10k does not list ATT under infrastructure equipment licensees. ATT is the only new infrastructure licensee that shows up in 1998. Under ASIC they added PrairieComm, Inc. The new subscriber equipment licensees were: acer, alps, appeal, AT&T, casio, phillips, synertek, and uniden. -- Jim
