CASE FILE

CASE FILE
The Network Has a Water Bill. Europe Wants ITU to Count It.

CASE FILE

CASE FILE

CASE FILE

CASE FILE
RCC Wants ITU Meeting Replays on a Clock
A proposed change would put a deadline on access to recordings and transcripts. The clock is still blank, and a remote microphone remains a different thing from a seat in a hybrid meeting's decision.
CASE FILE
The ITU Has Five Term Clocks. RCC Wants One.
A new proposal would count service across all five elected management jobs. The clock starts with officials first elected in 2030; this year's winners keep the current rules.
CASE FILE
Does the ITU Really Need to Ship the Meeting Room?
Arab States want the ITU to price conferences as events with different needs, use capable local equipment when it is cheaper, and rethink how interpretation travels. The six-language obligation stays in the room.
CASE FILE
Regulators May Get a Report Card. Arab States Want the Grades Kept Private.

CASE FILE
The ITU's Satellite Desk Is Behind. Arab States Want the Wait in Writing.
Satellite plans move on launch calendars; their radio filings move through an overworked international office. A proposal for November asks the ITU to show the queue, explain missed deadlines and give administrators a useful date.
CASE FILE
The ITU Can Hear the Satellites. China and Russia Want It to Watch Where They Fly.

CASE FILE

CASE FILE
The ITU's Treaty Review Has a Calendar Problem. Four Countries Want to Cancel the Reminder.

CASE FILE
The Network Went Cloud-Native. The Training Manual Stayed in 2014.
Qatar wants the ITU’s old software-defined-networking brief to teach operators how to migrate through NFV and cloud-native systems. Its proposal spends more ink on workshops and legacy coexistence than on the buzzwords.
CASE FILE
The Cable, the Cloud and the Power Plug Share One Failure Map.
A UAE draft would make the ITU treat cables, data centres, exchanges, cooling and power as one continuity problem. It also asks for regular reports built from voluntary accounts of what went wrong.
CASE FILE
One Door for a Broken Cable? Three Governments Put It on the ITU Desk.
Brazil, Kazakhstan and the Philippines want cable-repair coordination to have a front door. Their proposed ITU resolution names the offices that should promote it, while leaving the actual door for governments and operators to build.
