World Trade Organization Director-general Renato Ruggiero predicted that the WTO would boost global incomes by ＄1 trillion in the next ten years. The pact paves the way for more foreign investment and competition in telecom markets. Many governments are making telecom deregulation a priority and making it easier for outsiders to enter the telecmmunication business.
The pace varies widely. The U.S. and Britain are well ahead of the pack, while Thailand won’ t be fully open until 2006. Only 20% of the ＄ 601 billion world market is currently open to competition.

S. last year that deregulated local markets, the opening up of the European Union’ s markets from Jan. 1, 1998 and the deregulation in Japan.

Passage Four
The world is known to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, vision, and at close range, touch and taste.
Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the Anger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized.

A. man possesses far more senses than the five major ones
