OK, let's talk about national telephone numbering plans. Does anybody complain about the way those are done? Is there direct public participation? Are national numbering authorities "foes"?
I'm well aware of the fact that some people don't trust the ITU, but I have trouble understanding why, apart from the OSI wars of the distant past.
Does anybody complain about ITU's coordination of international telephone numbers, or the E.212 codes used in the SIM cards that enable GSM telephones, or the SANC codes that are used in SS7, which enables both conventional telephony and SMS messages in GSM telephones, etc.?
What specifically does ITU do that causes suspicion?
Finally, there is no barrier to direct public participation in ITU. Traditionally, there hasn't been much. But maybe that is because things are done to the public's satisfaction, so there isn't a need for direct public participation?
Best,
Richard
