International Telecommunication Union Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is an international organization established to standardize and regulate international radio and telecommunications, founded as the International Telegraph Union in Paris in May 17, 1865. Its main tasks include standardization, allocation of the radio spectrum, and organizing interconnection arrangements between different countries to allow international phone calls. (In which regard it performs for telecommunications a similar function to what the UPU performs for postal services.) It is one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations.
