The ITU is sulking because noone cares about them anymore; everybody
just runs IP instead of being obedient Phone Company customers and=20
using E.164 numbers.=20
By becoming provider of IPv6 space the ITU hopes to restore the notion
of country code addresses and also to again become a power factor in
datacom.=20
It is no coincidence that this wacky idea centers around developing
countries; since one country -- one vote still is the norm for much ITU
work this is a way to move power distribution back from an economy
driven model (where actual usage and amount of money invested in
operations matter) to a national-state model where Internet-heavy
information economies like North Korea or Bangladesh have equal voting
rights as USA or Japan.
