Listers,
International Telecommunication regulations are general
principles related to international telecommunication services and its
transport means.
The purpose and Scope includes among other things:
- Interconnection
and interoperability of telecommunication facilities.
- Giving
precedence for the Radio Regulations in case of contradiction.
- Allowing,
within its framework, mutual agreements between countries.
- To
set primary rules for accounting and settlements between members.
The
ITR treaty was adopted in the World Administrative Telegraph and Telephone
Conference (WATTC) held in Melbourne, 1988. It however came into force on July 1
1990, since then no updates have been made to the ITR provisions which leads to the following question:
- As countries prepare for the World Congress on International Telecommunications to be held in Dubai in December 2012 (http://www.itu.int/en/wcit-12/Pages/overview.aspx) What should Kenya's priorities be?
- Should Kenya make its stand as a country or should we bargain through the Africa Telecommunications Union as per Dr. Ndemos proposal during a discussion on the list what are the implications of taking a stand as a country or as a regional block ?
