ITU’s role as creator of the world’s most universally-recognized infocommunications standards dates back as far as the organization itself. Since its inception in 1865 the Union has been brokering industry consensus on the technologies and services that form the backbone of the world’s largest most interconnected man-made system. In 2007 alone ITU’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) produced over 160 new and revised standards (ITU-T Recommendations) covering everything from core network functionality and broadband to next-generation services like IPTV.
