There are some uninhabited islands in that list [1], as well as 
territories like Gibraltar, Jersey and Guernsey which are probably 
represented at the ITU by the likes of the UK. But what this highlights 
is that there are several different lists of "what is a country", and 
ISO3166 is just one example.

[1] my current favourite is Heard Island; but perhaps the penguins need 
to get some Internet connectivity first, before they have to worry about 
the effects of Cybercrime.
