'''ITU-T''' is the telecommunications standardization sector of the [[ITU|International Telecommunications Union]], which is responsible in developing new standards and revising existing standards for the information and communications technology (ICT) industry from core network functionality and broadband to next-generation services such as Internet Protocol Television ([[IPTV]]). The standards developed by ITU-T are called '''"Recommendations"''' since they are not mandatory unless they are incorporated in the national law of a particular government. <ref>[http://www.itu.int/net/ITU-T/info/Default.aspx FAQ]</ref>

==Objectives==
Much of the ICU-T's work in the development of global ICT is meant to ensure that developing countries have accessibility to adopt international standards with fully integrated global communications operations for next generation networks (NGN), to build confidence and security in using ICTs, to develop early warning systems (emergency communication), and to reduce the impact of ICT on climate change and learn how to use ICT to lessen its effects.<ref>[http://www.itu.int/net/ITU-T/info/Default.aspx ITU-T In Brief]</ref> The ICU-T's formal objectives are as follows:
* Develop and publish global standards
* Develop and publish global standards
* Identify areas for future standardization
* Identify areas for future standardization
* Provide an attractive and effective forum for the development of international standards
* Provide an attractive and effective forum for the development of international standards
* Disseminate information and know-how
