The posting states that WRC-03 only allows international third-party 
traffic for emergency or disaster relief.  Reading further, you see that 
there are "agreements or arrangements" with some countries (including 
USA) that grant permission over and above the minimums set by WRC-03.

Kind of like free software.  The GPL provides "NO WARRANTY FOR THE 
PROGRAM", but you can enter into an additional agreement with someone to 
provide a warranty for you.
