International Telecommunications Union

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that helps manage global communications. Founded in 1865, it coordinates international standards for telecommunications, such as radio frequencies and mobile networks, to ensure different systems can work together smoothly. The ITU also supports development initiatives to improve communication infrastructure in developing countries, helping to bridge the digital divide. By promoting cooperation among member countries and industries, the ITU plays a vital role in shaping the future of global communication technology.
