International Telecommunications Union (ITU)

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that coordinates global telecommunications and information technologies. Established in 1865, it helps countries connect their communication systems and promotes international cooperation in the use of telecommunications. The ITU sets technical standards, allocates radio frequencies, and assists in developing policies to ensure everyone can access and benefit from modern communication technologies. By fostering collaboration among governments, industry, and academia, the ITU aims to bridge the digital divide and enhance global connectivity.
