CTOs urge ITU to lead global standards shake-up
Nineteen chief technical officers (CTOs) from some of the world's key ICT players have called upon ITU to provide a lead in an overhaul of the global ICT standardisation landscape.
The call came at a meeting held at ITU headquarters in Geneva on 6 October 2009 between ITU senior management and the world's technology leaders. The meeting will become a regular feature on the ITU calendar.
The CTOs agreed on a set of recommendations and actions that will better address the evolving needs of a fast-moving industry; facilitate the launch of new products, services and applications; promote cost-effective solutions; combat climate change; and address the needs of developing countries regarding greater inclusion in standards development.
