WTO gives U.S. till April to change gambling law

A Reuters newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

A World Trade Organization arbiter on Friday gave the United States until April 3 to comply with a ruling that a ban on Internet gambling services offered by Antigua violates the body's rules.

U.S. officials had sought a July deadline.

United States Trade Representative's Office press secretary Neena Moorjani said on Friday the USTR would examine the ruling and do its best to accede to the timeframe.

But she said the change would not necessarily loosen U.S. restrictions on Internet gambling.
