ITU
International Telecommunications Union. ITU is a UN affiliated body engaged
in standardisation relevant to international telecommunications. It includes
two standardising divisions, i.e. ITU-T (standardisation for modems, ISDN,
network interfaces for communication system operators, etc.) and ITU-R
(standardisation related to radio communication services). Standards
established by the organisation are referred to as “recommendations”, and are
formally adopted as such only upon the unanimous consent of all member
countries.
