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

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Stephane and all,

  This has been a long standing problem with the ITU.  Different
classifications of Documents, some avaliable for free, others not,
such as ITU-R, which is really the "Good stuff".  So why not
ITU-R?  Well, my guess has always been, and remains that
the ITU, and UN organization isn't really interested in just
anyone having access to the good stuff, but can access any
of the trivial documentation.  Seems to me that this a blatent
form of denial of access to knowledge.  Others opinion may
of course very.
