</div>Yes, I'm quite aware of this. My suggestion that, contrary to this<br>
trend, a limiting definition of "telecommunication" should be included<br>
in the ITRs is because this is the only way that I can see to<br>
<br>
(1) avoid continuation of the blatant discrepancy between what the ITRs<br>
say and today's reality (by removing from the declared scope of<br>
the ITRs the part of reality to which the provisions of the ITRs are<br>
not applicable ), and to<br>
<br>
(2) prevent the ITU from gradually but continuously increasing its<br>
power over Internet governance without any real public interest<br>
representation, and without any real checks and balances.<br></blockquote><div><br><br><a href="http://inetaria.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/itu-extreme-agendas-v1-2-1.pdf">http://inetaria.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/itu-extreme-agendas-v1-2-1.pdf</a><br>
