ITA membership encompasses the majority of international service operators.
Additionally, ITA has expanded its membership to include information providers, foreign telecommunications carriers and consumer organizations. In our comments, we will endeavor to respond to the questions pertaining to the expansion of the 900 rules to international services. With the emergence of a global marketplace, the evolution of international standards is the only viable method for addressing a number of the concerns raised by the Commission. This requires the international audiotext community to establish guidelines for the offering of such services. The ITA has been at the forefront of this effort and we welcome the input of the Commission on the Code of Practice previously presented to the Commission.
