This project examined the possibilities of enhancing trade in Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) sector if India and its largest trading partner, the US, enter into an FTA. Four sectoral studies (telecommunication services, audio-visual services, IT-enabled services, and software services) were conducted under this project. The study findings were used in the Indo-US Trade Forum and bilateral dialogues.
