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. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, Inta-state is the same as Inter-state for the WTO. Logically it has to be. USA preventing access or just the states stopping international access has the same result. The WTO commitment is a federal one and the WTO applies it to all the states. |

But, we should know the entire cast of characters by Monday. I heard a rumor, but I have not confirmed that Macau has filed. Don't ask me how they are separate from China but they have their own entry as a member of the WTO. |

Macao is in a 50 year handover phase between Portugal and China. I think it started in the 80s, but I thought the EU controlled their foreign trade.

Canada is big, all estimates were they would not file trying to coddle up.

If my info is right, I guess they didn't file.
The press mixes things up all of the time. Brazil made a speech at the last hearing favorable to Antigua, but it seems that's as far as it went. |

Now that we know which countries have filed, what is the next step in all of this? The July 24th hearing?

I am pretty sure July 24th is just the next general meeting for the WTO. It relates to Antigua's filing for remedies. The US has to contest it by then or it will be adopted.
The other countries claims were due by June 22. Now the US has 3 months to negotiate with each of them or go to arbitration. |
