ICTP 019: Demystifying the ITU, with Cleveland Thomas, the Caribbean Area Rep

Published: Aug. 22, 2018, 4:30 a.m.

The development of global telecoms and ICT policy and standards is the remit of several organisations, but the most important – the one that tends to have the greatest impact – is the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). However, it is somewhat surprising that even among those who pride themselves on being versed in the tech field, many are not familiar with the ITU, nor the work it has done in the Caribbean region. In speaking with Cleveland Thomas, the ITU Area Representative for the Caribbean, he gives some insight into the ITU’s focus globally, plus the organisation’s efforts and priorities in the Caribbean region.
