International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs)

The International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs) are global agreements established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) to coordinate and manage international telecommunications services. They set common guidelines for countries to facilitate interoperability, security, and fair access to communication networks like the internet, phone systems, and broadcasting. By providing a legal framework, ITRs help ensure that these services function smoothly across borders, enabling people and businesses worldwide to communicate reliably and efficiently. Essentially, they are treaties that promote international cooperation and standards in the rapidly evolving field of telecommunications.
