Contribution : ​While spam does not account for much traffic, it does not appear to provide social or economic benefits, thus its suppression would seem to be a priority item in order to reduce electricity consumption which has a negative environmental impact. Developed countries who previously opposed treaty-level provisions regarding spam are now promoting such provisions in WTO. Since more countries are members of ITU than of WTO, it would appear logical that developed countries should now promote similar anti-spam provisions in the ITU’s International Telecommunication Regulations.
