"e164.arpa is controlled by RIPE-NCC and the IAB guys."
yes, this is a good point of clarification. ICANN is in effect the TLD administrator for .arpa (via IANA) and has formally delegated the second level e164 to RIPE, known as "tier 0"...and this was accomplished by the IAB.
That the ITU has wanted to move away from .arpa (and ICANN..and the USG...and the IAB...and RIPE) was not something I was familiar with. I would be curious to see where have they been "fighting" this one out. I recall that the ITU did propose to assist in administering .arpa in its comments submitted to ICANN Reform (and one of the few bullet points it zeroed in on). But, I was not aware of a formal "fight about this for months".
Also, are you saying that US based telecom interests stand to gain by tier 0 being in the USG/ICANN controlled .arpa? I can make a few guesses why this would be true but would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

This blog is ICANNWatch, not ITUWatch. There was no "formal" fight, but from what I hear, there was a protracted informal fight.
No standars organization likes to be beholden to another standards organization for anything. The ITU doesn't like being in a zone delegated by the IETF. The IETF doesn't want to hand over what could be the next important development of the DNS to the ITU. No one trusts ICANN. Toss ETSI and OASIS into this pot (as I'm sure they would have wanted to be), and it is just a mess.
