International Telecommunication Union 2
International Telecommunication Union 2 : The ITU (French: Union Internationale des Telecommunications, UIT) is a specialized agency of the United Nations with responsibilities for developing operational procedures and technical standards for the use of the radio frequency spectrum, the satellite orbit, and for the international public telephone and telegraph network. ITU develops telecommunications standards in the form of recommendations covering all technical aspects of systems and equipment including interfaces, methods of operation and principles governing the fixing of tariffs and rates to be charged. There are over 160 member nations of the ITU. The Radio Regulations that results from ITU conferences have treaty status and provide the principal guidelines for world telecommunications. In the case of the U.S., they are the framework for development of the U.S. national frequency allocations and regulations. The ITU has four permanent organs: the General Secretariat, the International Frequency Registration Board (IFRB), the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR), and the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). The Union is located in Geneva, Switzerland. The Department of State is the U.S. member.
