Abstract

The forces of globalization and convergence are generating the need for a new international system of governance for telecommunication. This future system is in the process of being planned, shaped, and implemented and the ITU is facilitating its development. Key considerations include governance based on the principles of internationalism, universalism, regulatory symmetry and independence, and open access. The ITU's expanding structure, which now involves the participation in global policy development by industry as well as government can take major steps toward achieving real universal service and bringing more people into the world community.
