Default Re: Suggested plan to leverage the WTO issue in the senate

autobet,

For the purposes of the WTO on this issue, it doesn't distinguish between intra-state and inter-state within the U.S. So that means that if Nevada allows phone wagering only by its residents in-state, then that still violates WTO rulings. Although it makes a difference to us here because we have a strong federal system, the WTO again doesn't make that dinstinction unless there is a specific exception made by treaty which there are in some small cases, mostly it seems having to do with dependancies of EU countries or small autonomous regions of various countries.
