That's news to me! Does ITU have any ability to mandate laws for the physical spectrum? If not, a global communications committee would still be needed. At minimum, they would need the ability to control the 5G blocks of every country participating in the SAT to cell service.
- lxgr 3y agoLike most of these international committees, I believe they mostly facilitate agreements between sovereign states; I don't believe they have any legislative power themselves. Maybe an analogy would be ICAO's (another "specialized agency of the UN") "Freedoms of the Air" [1] – they define the terminology, but it's still up to individual (or blocs of) nation states to actually grant them to each other, ratify recommendations etc. [1] https://www.icao.int/pages/freedomsair.aspx https://www.icao.int/pages/freedomsair.aspx
