Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>a four-part series of articles by Dwayne Winseck (Canada) which culminates in <a href="http://t.co/Fj7hZGr" target="_blank">http://t.co/Fj7hZGr</a> seems to me a better opinion, Louis. The claims made in "The Hypocrisy..." about transparency and openness
in the ITU have been tested and failed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These articles also peel off the hype and the anti-UN rhetoric, which is unwelcome in many countries, and, interestingly, finds that things are actually pretty bad notwithstanding. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The control mentality and the antiquated approaches trying to reverse the clock are laid bare and for most will renew the will to not let them happen. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yours,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alejandro Pisanty<br>
