The world's oldest international organization - the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU[1]) - will mark the anniversary of its founding on
May 17. The ITU was established on that day in 1865.
The theme of the 2016 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day will
be "Information and Communication Technology (ICT) entrepreneurship for social
impact."
The ITU asserts that ICT entrepreneurs and startups, and small to medium size
enterprises "have a particularly relevant role in ensuring economic growth in a
sustainable and inclusive manner." In conjunction with World Telecommunication
and Information Society Day, radio amateurs in Australia will be permitted to
use the prefix "AX" on May 17.
