Summary
Telecom manufacturers in R argue that their products should be exempted from a ban on exports to S (which is meant to push S to become less repressive). In support, the manufacturers claim that when telecom equipment is widely available to a country’s population, that country cannot remain repressive.
Notable Assumptions
The manufacturers’ argument that exporting their equipment to S will help to make S less repressive requires the assumption that telecom equipment exported to S will be widely available to S’s population. Without this assumption, there would be no link between the manufacturers’ premise and their conclusion.
