This book provides a clear and thorough account of the process
leading up to the revision of the International Telecommunication
Regulations (ITRs) one of the four treaties administered by the
ITU. The author's inside view of the events and his legal analysis
of the new ITRs, are different from that what has been aired in
most other accounts to date. His systematic approach shows how much
of the criticism of the WCIT-12 process and of the ITRs themselves,
is unjustified. This book provides the most accurate view to date
of what theITRs really mean and of what really happened at WCIT-12,
which was undoubtedly a key event in the history of
telecommunication policy and which is likely to have significant
long-term effects.
The book covers in some detail the events leading to the
non-signature of the treaty by a significant number of states,
outlines possible consequences of that split between states, and
offers possible ways forward. The book includes a detailed
article-by-article analysis of the new ITRs, explaining their
implications and concludes with recommendations for national
authorities. It concludes with an analysis of events from the point
of view of dispute resolution theory, offering suggestions for how
to avoid divisive outcomes in the future.
"This is an excellent book, and quite rich and comprehensive.
The topic is important and the book will surely be of interest to
regulators, diplomats, policy experts, and all those who
participated in WCIT. The author is uniquely qualified to write an
analysis of the new ITRs and an account of the Conference. This
book will be a good reference for the next Plenipotentiary
Conference to be held in 2014 which is going to discuss follow-up
to WCIT-12." Naser al-Rashedi, United Arab Emirates.
"This is an authoritative expert account of a moment of high
significance for vital issues with respect to international
networks." Professor Dan Schiller, University of Illinois.
"This is an excellent and timely work." Professor Ian Walden,
Queen Mary, University of London.
"Interested persons, businesses and governments can draw their
policies from the assessments of a telecommunications insider as
presented in this book.
The manifold arguments enlightening the interpretation of the
provisions of the ITRs might become an invaluable guidance for
those who apply the ITRs in the future."
Professor Dr. Rolf H. Weber, University of Zurich."
