<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:10pt">Just short of a 2/3rds majority in favor is not good.<br>
<br>
In the land of 'global' treaties that's way too many objections. <br>
<br>
Reservations treaties can live with; pre-emptive no's to big things like - Internet, or not....are another matter.<br>
<br>
When is a standard not a standard? When...it's not. Likewise for a not global treaty and a global net<br>
<br>
My instant geopolitical analysis, assuming final yays and nays ratio remains <2/3rds favoring in final count: no matter how tired folks are on the ground in Dubai, it ain't over.<br>
<br>
A Part III likely has to pop up again in x years to salvage anything for ITU, certainly in less than 24 years.<br>
<br>
Or we are stuck with the status quo now augmented by half-Dead on Arrival 'ITRs'.
<br>
<br>
Some around current processes might find it amusing observing governments and ITU managing to.....well anyway. But it's not really that funny.<br>
<br>
Any talk re what comes next from folks on the ground?<br>
