[governance] ITRs: What if...

I am suddenly curious to hear others' views about the following scenario:

Is there any one here who thinks it would be a better process or that
a better outcome could be reached if the world's telecom operators
meet directly with internet connectivity and large service providers
to try and define what the operating relationship of the two sectors
should be (while recognizing each other as two separate business
sectors) and maybe spell out what they would need governments to
assist with, if anything, in order to foster affordable access and
economic growth across the world?

Is that in the realm of "practical possibility" at all? (It may be
hard to see companies put resources in possibly lengthy negotiation
process if they don't need to do that to improve their bottom line or
at least retain their market.)
If that were to be possible, IGF could be the place for other
stakeholders to help define the qualitative benchmarks (some sort of
Digital Development Goals) to guide the conference of Operators and
Providers on their economic growth and social development agenda.

Or do you think, I would make more sense after a good night sleep?
Thanks,

Mawaki
