The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is one of the three Sectors of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU-T was created on 1 March 1993 within the framework of the "new" ITU, replacing the former International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT) whose origins are over 100 years old. The ITU-T fulfils the purposes of the ITU relating to telecommunications standardization by studying technical, operating and tariff questions and adopting Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. 1, record 1, English, - ITU%20Telecommunication%20Standardization%20Sector

Le Secteur de la normalisation des télécommunications de l'UIT (UIT-T) est l'un des trois Secteurs de l'Union internationale des télécommunications (UIT). L'UIT-T a été créé le 1er mars 1993 dans le cadre de la nouvelle structure de l'UIT, afin de remplacer l'ancien Comité consultatif international télégraphique et téléphonique (CCITT), dont les origines remontent à plus de cent ans.
