Service, Liberalization in telephone service is making phone calls cheaper in the 1990s by 4% per year in developing countries and 2% per year in industrial countries, taking inflation into account. In China, completion from a second mobile phone company was at least part of the reason for a 30% cut in the price of a phone call. In Ghana a second mobile company cut costs by 50%. Sometimes the lower costs of services are related to lower trade barriers for goods. When the EU created its single market by removing internal trade barriers, telecommunications equipment costs fell by an average of 7% over 10 years. The system now entrusted to the WTO has been in place for over 50 years. In that time there have been eight major rounds of trade negotiations. Trade barriers around the world are lower than they have ever been in modern trading history. They continue to fall, and we are all benefiting.
Think of all the things we can now have because we can import them: fruits and vegetables out of season, food, all sorts of household goods, books, music, and movies. Think also of the things people in other countries can have because they buy exports from us and elsewhere. Consider all the things that would disappear if all our imports were taken away from us. Imports allow us more choice in both goods and services, and a wider range of quality. Even the quality of locally-produced good can improve because of the competition from imports. This winder choice isn’t simply foreign finished products. It also includes imports that are used as materials, components and equipment for local production.怎么翻译啊!因情况紧急,需要急切知道 ,希望大家帮帮忙!谢谢!
