Location: Dubai
At the request of our membership, ITU will convene the
World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, from 3-14 December 2012.
This landmark conference will review the current
International Telecommunications Regulations (ITRs), which serve as the binding global treaty outlining the principles which govern the way international voice, data and video traffic is handled, and which lay the foundation for ongoing innovation and market growth. The ITRs were last negotiated in Melbourne, Australia in 1988, and there is broad consensus that the text now needs to be updated to reflect the dramatically different information and communication technology (ICT) landscape of the 21st century.
