ITU standards build the global information infrastructure

摘要

The ITU has created a new Series of Recom- mendations specifically dedicated to standardization of technologies that will underpin the new global information infrastructure (GII). While many countries are already beginning to implement their own strategies to put in place new high-speed information infrastructures, there remains a need for a global approach which will foster worldwide compatibility between new technologies. The ITU, with its 188 Member States and around 450 Members from private industry, represents a global forum where Members can develop standards that reflect the needs of a broad cross section of the infocommunications industry, from operators and governments to service providers and consumers.
