that if the universalization term is somehow found unclear (which assertion we
find somewhat strange, since this is used in so many contexts in policy
circles, including global ones) we can use the term ‘Ensuring (or Achieving)
Universal Access’ which should be no problem at all because almost all
countries have universal access provisions in their telecom

clear how this debate will take place, and some integrity to the whole process
ensured.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
