Internet Law - The Supreme Court of Guam Held that Internet Access Service is Neither a Telephone Service Nor a Supplement to Telephone Service
	Martha L. Arias, IBLS Director Monday, February 08, 2010
	Guam is an island located in the Western Pacific Ocean; it was controlled by Spain from 1668 until 1898 when it was surrendered to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris, the treaty that ended the Spanish-American War. Thus, Guam is currently an unincorporated territory of the United States. Guam is governed by the President of the United States, an elected governor, and a unicameral 15-member legislature. As any unincorporated territory of the United States, Guam has its own judicial system, including a Supreme Court. In 2009, the Guam Supreme Court held that Internet service access is neither a telephone service nor a supplement to telephone service. This decision is consistent with decisions rendered by United States courts on whether Internet service access is a telecommunication service.
