First sentence: The international regulatory framework of EC telecommunications law is characterised by a somewhat strange and sometimes even confusing dualism between two different sets of legal regimes: virtually all technical matters are dealt with under the auspices of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU); all other regulatory issues - such as questions of access, interconnection etc. - are within the realm of the law of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
