World Telecommunication Development Report: Trade in Telecommunications

The cover picture was drawn by Gl Banu Altinok, 13, of Turkey. It shows the peoples of the world coming together to communicate with a distant planet via the medium of light: a rainbow. The report is concerned with extra-territorial communications or, more precisely, telecom trade. The growing volume of communication between nations and the trade it supports, helps to build peace and interdependence between nations, reflected by the rainbow, an international symbol of peace.
