It will allow to have at hand at any time all published documents of the Conference in the six official ITU languages.

This synchronization software can be downloaded from the website, under the menu "Sync Application", when the conference starts.

In addition, a local document server will be setup and allow immediate access to all published documents.

The Distribution service, will distribute two copies per delegation/representation of each official document.

A special designated area, close to the pigeonholes will be reserved for the distribution of conference-related documentation, i.e. materials relevant to the Conference agenda and objectives (e.g. telecommunication information pamphlets, books, magazines, other printed and/or electronic materials). This area will be accessible to all participants on a self-service basis and will be supervised by the Secretariat. An authorization is required to distribute materials in this area. Materials distributed without authorization will be removed by the Secretariat. Authorization can be obtained by contacting the Conference Document Control and Management service at wtdc14@itu.int
