Dear all,<br>
<br>My main point is about "clarifying" that the ITRs apply only to<br>
classical telecommunication services... but<br>
not including ICTs and the Internet in general.<br></blockquote></div></blockquote><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>The term telecommunications has evolved and instead of telecommunications, some prefer to say Communications. For eg. within the United Kingdom, see <i>UK Communications Act 2003</i> shows the evolution of what you classify as traditional telecommunication services to "electronic communications" which encompasses what you segment as traditional telecommunication services and ICT and internet. </div></div></blockquote><br></div><div>Salanieta - </div><div> </div><div> I am not certain that I understand your point; in particular, I believe we </div><div> are agreed that many organizations and governments are making use of </div><div> the term "Telecommunications" today with greater scope than it was used </div><div> in the ITR's, but is it your assertion that the present ambiguity that results </div><div> should not be corrected?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div>/John</div><div><br></div><div>Disclaimer: My views alone.
