<P class=MsoNormal>ITU and Internet Society Collaborate to Combat
Spam<O:P></O:P></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Spam accounts for 80 percent of global e-mail
traffic<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Busan, 06 November 2014 – ITU and the Internet Society
today signed a letter of agreement to collaborate on combating the global
problem of spam. Spam now accounts for a significant amount of all global
e-mail traffic and presents particular difficulties in areas where bandwidth
is insufficient to handle the congestion that spam creates.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“Combating the growing menace of spam and the protection of
data is a global concern for legitimate Internet and smartphone users,” said
ITU Secretary-General Dr Hamadoun I. Touré. “We need to find global solutions
to curtail the flow of intrusive junk mail which not only clogs up the
Internet but also carries huge cost implications.”<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Under the new agreement, the Internet Society and the ITU
Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D) will identify the best ways to
build long-term capacity for addressing spam in developing countries. This
collaborative partnership will explore and identify potential joint
cooperative activities to address the growing need for information on how to
address the issue of spam.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“We look forward to working with ITU-D as partners in
capacity building programmes that will bridge the gaps in understanding so
that all countries can have access to the tools and knowledge they need to
combat spam,” stated Kathy Brown, President and CEO of the Internet Society.
“The costs associated with spam related to wasted bandwidth, storage and
network infrastructure, as well as the increased security risks are amplified
in developing regions. By collaborating with ITU-D, we hope to make a real and
positive impact on the world’s most vulnerable economies.”<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The agreement will extend the work that the Internet
Society initiated last year to hold workshops that address the various roles
in developing and maintaining an effective anti-spam process, as well as
leverage the strengths and efforts of ITU-D in the area of building capacity.
Without such proactive global work, the problem of spam, particularly given
the growing use of mobile devices and social media, will intensify rather than
abate.<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The organizations have agreed to preliminarily focus their
efforts on three areas:<O:P></O:P></P>

practices<O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><O:P></O:P></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>“Spam is a worldwide obstacle that requires innovative
solutions to minimize the burden for countries, network operators, and end
users,” notes Brahima Sanou, Director of ITU’s Telecommunication Development
Bureau. “While the telecommunication industry and Internet communities have
made great strides in creating best practices and developing technical tools
to combat spam, there is a need to build awareness in developing countries of
the ongoing technical, industry and policy developments in this regard, and to
centralize the knowledge and expertise available. This partnership aims to
fill that need.”<O:P></O:P></P>
