ITU-T unique membership

• Public-private platform: ITU-T is the only place where Ministries and regulators work hand in hand with the industry and Academia to develop ICT standards.
  
  
• International participants: Nowhere else will you meet ICT standards experts coming from 193 countries that make up the United Nations.
  
  
• From small to big members: Being at the cross-section of the ICT sector, ITU-T welcomes the world's largest manufacturers and carriers, to small, innovative players working with emerging technologies. No matter their size, all ITU-T members collaborate on an equal footing, enjoying similar rights.
  
  
• Stakeholders from the full ICT spectrum: Whether you are an operator, a manufacturer or a service provider, your whole business ecosystem comes to ITU-T. New stakeholders from vertical industries (health, utilities, banking, etc.) are also member.
  
  
• Diversity of member profiles: ITU-T involves more than just governments and companies. Universities,  NGOs, business associations, and intergovernmental organizations are among our members too.
