This thread is quite disturbing.

Sounds like the ITU considers itself as an umbrella even larger than the sum
of all Internet Organizations put together. Participation in an ITU driver
project as what? Sub-components?

The Internet the ITU wants to invent is in not the same as the Internet of
the Internet model. What are we expected to do here? Queue up to the local
telecoms to give up on all the Internet ideals?

The ITU and IP based networks? ITU is likely to be more interested in a
network in which the telephone or mobile phone is the center of the Network.
*That kinds of an internet is more like 'RICH SMS' from one phone to
another, it wouldn't be Internet. *

When *the phone becomes the node rather than the medium*, that so called
internet would be so much under control, not like the Internet which was
designed to be a medium of communication with multiple channels of traffic.
