[governance] Why standards from ISO are not freely available?

[atanu garai]

The difference being that ITU standards - so called ITU-T recs - are
mostly available free of charge
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/publications/recs.html and reasonably so
because these are proceeds of collective intellectual works. No where
there is another example like ISO supposedly an international
organisation producing instruments that are being applied to virtually
every sphere of public systems, yet the very information remains
closed.
