The ITU is very well run, it is because of them that global standards are in place and I can pick up the phone and talk seemlesly to someone in India or France.
And it takes them years to forge an agreement on anything. Yes, the telephones work, but they have had 50 years to get it right. That organization moves too slow to manage something like the ever changing internet.

Re: Who Cares

Good decisions take time. It takes time and thought to do things right as opposed to, say, invading a sovereign country because someone pissed off your daddy.

You find some way to work the Iraq conflict into every single one of your posts, don't you? Give Ms. Sheehan a kiss for us.

Re: Who Cares

It's not about the Iraq war...I just don't understand when we as a nation started to mistake fast decisions for good ones? Sound decision-making takes time and thought. There are no shortcuts.

Re: Who Cares

Yes, the way you'd prefer is to take 50 years deciding whether Iraq is a threat, while they're developing cruise missiles and other weapons. Then by the time that the 50 years is over and you're about to give your long, winded, boring, and mostly off-topic speech, Iraq will simply launch a missile in your face.

Sometimes time is of the essence. Some people can't understand that.

hmm.. I though this ill conceived war proved that they weren't making weapons of mass destruction?

Re: Who Cares

If they had 50 years of the US doing jack shit, do you think that Hussein and his govt wouldn't be making weapons?

Actually, under current rules, it takes as little as 6 months to finish a standard. The ITU-T director has said recently he's gotten comments from people in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), that they happen too fast. I know folks here will be appalled, but alot of IETF standard depend on ITU documents (the horror! The sky is falling! the sky is falling!). They'd probably also wouldn't believe that more Americans work on ITU committees than any other country.
