While most of the ITU's basic functions remain the same, telecommunications in most of the world's market is today a highly competitive business - and it is so to some extent with the international organizations. Our constituents are now looking for improved performance, and for products more tailored to their needs. And the very nature of our constituents is changing, too. In 1991 we had 164 country members; in 1995 we have 184.

In the past, the ITU was the sole international institution in the telecommunications field. It primarily served as a means of cooperation among operators of public telecommunication facilities, including radio. The ITU's activities included sharing information, developing standards, and adopting regulatory provisions that represented the common rules of the business. Until relatively recently there were no private networks. The notion that someone could independently operate a separate end-to-end telecommunication network on an international scale was not something that occurred.
While most of the ITU's basic functions remain the same, telecommunications in most of the world's market is today a highly competitive business - and it is so to some extent with the international organizations. Our constituents are now looking for improved performance, and for products more tailored to their needs. And the very nature of our constituents is changing, too. In 1991 we had 164 country members; in 1995 we have 184. And our industry membership is changing too, in breadth and in depth: from being wholly telecommunications oriented, it now includes members from the computing and entertainment industries.
The ITU is now more market place oriented, and with the huge commercial increase in the telecommunications industry there has been an order of magnitude increase in the ITU's workload. A decade ago only 2-3000 pages of standards were issued per year; that has now grown to 10-12000 pages per year. The ITU is a more client-centred, customer responsive organization, and all of its documentation is now published on-line as well as in traditional hard copy.
