The Policy Forum has as its agenda the discussion and exchange of views and information on the following policy and regulatory issues raised by the introduction of global mobile personal communications systems and services by satellite:

• the resulting globalization of telecommunication services and the scope for international cooperation in this context
• the role of such systems in the provision of basic telecommunication services in developing countries, Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and in rural and remote areas
• measures necessary to achieve transborder use of such mobile terminals
• policy and regulatory issues relevant to such systems and services, in particular those relating to interconnection, with a view to achieving equitable and standard conditions of access

The Policy Forum will have one document – the Secretary-General's Report – as the basis of its discussions. This document incorporates all contributions by and comments received from members on the draft circulated in advance of the Forum. Copies of the report have been sent to all ITU members and will be sent to all pre-registered participants upon acceptance of their registration.
