CATALOGUE OF PUBLICATIONS
Dear Customer,
Thank you for your trust in the integrity and impartiality of ITU’s publications,
and for continuing to make ITU a leading international publisher of information
on communication technologies, developments and statistics. The quantity of
publications and new customers continues to grow steadily. We very much
appreciate your contribution as a valuable ITU customer to its continuing
success!
Most of you are already familiar with our collection of ITU-R and ITU-T Recom
mendations, which, as international standards, help towards establishing an
even playing field in the global telecommunication markets. For
the seafaring community, ITU-R maritime publications constitute
another capital collection, measured by customer demand that
continues to grow each year. Did you know that no ship sails
the seas without these publications on board? We have a range
of products that makes us unique in the publishing world. You
will find titles ranging from spectrum management and satellite
communications to ICT indicators and policy and development
issues, so whether you are a broadcasting engineer, regulator,
computer specialist, business analyst or student, you will surely
find something of interest to you.
The greater part of ITU publications are available in electronic

format (some in both electronic and hard copy formats) and can
be purchased and downloaded directly from at
any time, day or night. Other ITU publications are available in
hard copy format only or on CD/DVD-ROM. The ITU Catalogue and both
its annexed Lists of ITU-R Recommendations and Reports and ITU-T Recom
mendations contain all the titles currently for sale. These can be ordered online
or by using the order form, which you will find in this Catalogue. ITU publishes
in English, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French and Russian (please note that not
all titles are available in all six languages). This Catalogue also contains useful
information on pricing discounts, methods of payment and related conditions
of sale, as well as a snapshot of what is ITU and information on whom to
contact.
Keep connected to ITU’s publications web pages at: www.itu.int/publications.

They are updated regularly and new publications are posted there as soon as
they become available, as well as the latest news. As always, we welcome your
feedback and comments. Please contact us by mail or e-mail at [email protected].
On a final note, ITU is hosting its ITU TELECOM WORLD 2006 event at AsiaWorld-
Expo, Hong Kong, from 4 to 8 December 2006. Come and visit us on ITU Stand

benefit your company’s business.
Sincerely,
Peter Ransome

Colloquium No. 6 - Regulatory Implications of Telecommunications

Convergence
Geneva, 11-13 December 1996
6 This Briefing Report of the Sixth Colloquium assesses the challenges and
opportunities confronting regulators that arise from the rapid convergence of
telecommunications technologies and markets. Spurred by dramatic technical
developments, such as high-speed digital telephony, cable television, wireless
technologies, and the Internet, the lines between traditional common carrier telephone
("conduit") services and broadcast-based information and entertainment ("content")
services are becoming increasingly blurred. These trends are compelling regulators to
re-examine many of the fundamental policies and institutional structures whose goals
are to guide telecommunications industry evolution for the benefit of society. The
Regulatory Colloquium itself and the preparation of the Briefing Report were funded
by the World Bank and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. The principal author is Mr.
David Townsend. The views expressed are those of the author alone.

Colloquium No. 7 - Transforming Economic Relationships in International
Telecommunications
This Briefing Report was prepared for the seventh ITU Regulatory Colloquium, held at
ITU Headquarters in Geneva on 3-5 December 1997. The topic of the Seventh
Colloquium was a detailed examination of the present crisis in the international system
by which payments are made between countries for international telecommunications
services (known, for short, as the "accounting rate" problem). The Colloquium
examined in detail alternatives to the present system as well as means by which the
system may be adjusted to reflect current realities.

Colloquium No. 8 - Telecommunications Regulatory Issues for Electronic

Commerce
The eighth Colloquium examined the role that the telecommunications policy maker 7
and regulator could most usefully play in the development of electronic commerce.
While there is an already enormous and growing literature on e-commerce, relatively
little attention has been paid to the link between e-commerce and telecommunication
regulation. In addition, relatively little attention has been paid to providing guidance to
telecom officials in developing countries on this link. The analysis in this Briefing
Report is intended to help fill this gap.

1.3 Policy and Market Analysis
The ITU Internet Reports (published in line with PP Resolution 101), were launched in 1997, and
span over half a decade of evolution of the Internet together with fixed and mobile telephone
networks. Publications under the ITU New Initiatives Programme cover a wide variety of subjects
that have been discussed at expert workshops since 1999, from competition policy to Internet
governance, and from 3G to RFID. These are published in line with Council Decision 496. Since
2003, SPU has also released publications on issues of particular importance at the World Summit
on the Information Society, e.g. on countering spam and bridging the digital divide.
ITU Internet Reports Series
ITU Internet Reports 2006: digital.life

2006, 8th edition
This eight edition of the ITU Internet Reports, entitled "digital.life", delves into how
individual lives are changing in the digital age. Prepared especially for ITU TELECOM
WORLD (4-8 December 2006 in Hong Kong), the report begins by examining the
underlying technological enablers of new digital lifestyles, from upgrading network
infrastructure to value creation at its edges. In studying how businesses are adapting
NG
to fast-paced digital innovation, the report looks at how they can derive value in an
OMI
C
environment driven by convergence at multiple levels. The question of extending TH
access to underserved areas of the world is considered as an important priority. In F OR
light of media convergence, a fresh approach to policy-making may be required,
notably in areas such as content, competition policy, and spectrum management.
Moreover, as our lives become increasingly mediated by digital technologies, the role 11
of digital identities (both abstract and practical) presents a new challenge. Concerns
over privacy and data protection are not being sufficiently addressed by current
methods for managing identities online. As such, the report examines the changing
digital individual, and outlines the need for improving the design of identity
management systems for a healthy and secure digital world.

location of the user – heralding the dawn of a new era, one in which the internet (of
data and people) acquires a new dimension to become an Internet of Things. Topics
covered include new enabling technologies, business opportunites, public policy
challenges, and implications for the developing world. A statistical annex covering
over 200 economies is also included.

The ITU New Initiatives Programme: Promoting Broadband

2003
As local and national governments prepare for the challenges of the information
society, there is increasing interest in broadband deployment statistics showing which
countries are leading, and which are falling behind. Although most existing users are
residential consumers, broadband access is being touted as a way for governments to
attract investment, ensure future economic prosperity and provide enhanced social
welfare. But among developing countries, there is a fear that the huge investments
necessary to establish widescale broadband access will open up a new digital divide.
This publication - the eleventh in the New Initiatives series - summarizes the main
discussion points and conclusions of a workshop on promoting broadband, held in
April 2003, while the accompanying CD-ROM contains case studies, background
materials, useful broadband links, and extensive analyses of different aspects of the
topic. The workshop was organized by the ITU Strategy and Policy Unit, and examined
the different strategies that have been followed by different world economies, at local
and national levels, for promoting the deployment and use of broadband networks.
The key research question was why some economies have been more successful than
others and whether this success can be replicated.

Telecommunication Terminology Database (TERMITE)

Ongoing
Freely accessible through ITU's Telecom Information Exchange Services (TIES),
TERMITE (approximately 60,000 entries) contains all the terms appearing in formerly
published lexicons and is constantly updated. Although essentially devoted to
telecommunication terms relating to technical standards, the database also covers 21
other technical fields as well as administrative and financial matters relevant to the
structure and functioning of ITU. The entries are mainly in English, French, Spanish
and sometimes Russian (transcribed). A small number may also contain Italian,
German and Portuguese.

Provisional List of Terms Constituting the ITU Terminology Base "TERMITE"

- Volumes I and II
Geneva, 1996
TERMITE (TERMInology of TElecommunications) came into being in the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 1978, initially to satisfy the in-house translation
requirements. This terminology base very rapidly became an essential tool for all
technicians, engineers, translators and administrators involved in telecommunications.
TERMITE now overs not only technical telecommunication vocabulary but also the
administrative and financial vocabulary relating to ITU's structure and operations.
Incorporating as it does all previous lexicons and glossaries as well as many new
entries and updates, TERMITE now comprises over 59 000 entries.

Geneva, 1996
These French and Spanish indexes (each a separate publication) provide the terms of
the TERMITE terminology base sorted in the language of the index, and accompanied
by the location number of the entry in the main volumes (article 6665).

2.4 ITU-R Recommendations
35
The ITU-R Recommendations constitute a set of international technical standards developed by
the Radiocomunication Sector (formerly CCIR) of the ITU. They are the result of studies
undertaken by Radiocommunication Study Groups on:
- the use of a vast range of wireless services, including popular new mobile communication
technologies:
- the management of the radio-frequency spectrum and satellite orbits;
- the efficient use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services;
- terrestrial and satellite radiocommunication broadcasting;
- radiowave propagation;
- systems and networks for the fixed-satellite service, for the fixed service and the mobile service;
- space operation, Earth exploration-satellite, meteorological-satellite and radio astronomy
services.
The ITU-R Recommendations are approved by ITU Member States. Their implementation is not
mandatory; however, as they are developed by experts from administrations, operators, the
industry and other organizations dealing with radiocommunication matters from all over the
world, they enjoy a high reputation and are implemented worldwide.
They are divided into Series according to the subjects they cover, as follows:
Series Subject area

BO Satellite delivery
BR Recording for production, archival and play-out; film for television
BS Broadcasting service (sound)
BT Broadcasting service (television)
F Fixed service
M Mobile, radiodetermination, amateur and related satellite services
P Radiowave propagation

2.5 Handbooks
ITU-R Handbook is a text which provides a statement of the current knowledge, the present
position of studies, or of good operating or technical practice, in certain aspects of
radiocommunications, which should be addressed to a radio engineer, system planner or
operating official who plans, designs or uses radio services or systems, paying particular attention
to the requirements of developing countries. It should be self-contained, require no familiarity
with other ITU Radiocommunication texts or procedures, but should not duplicate the scope and
content of publications readily available outside the ITU.
Spectrum Management
Computer-aided Techniques for Spectrum Management (CAT)

Edition of 2005
This Handbook should be seen as a complement to the handbooks 'National Spectrum
Management' (Edition 2005) and 'Spectrum Monitoring' (Edition 2005). The topic of
national spectrum management has evolved and become the central hot spot in the
activities of all telecommunication administrations. This is particularly true for
developing countries, where dramatic development of ICT technologies and their wide
application have led to a heavy increase in related spectrum usage. The user/reader
will find basic material and numerous models for developing efficient projects that will
assist in reaching their objective - implementing automated spectrum management as
soon as possible.

3.2 ITU-T Recommendations
The ITU-T Recommendations are high-quality standards on technical, operating and tariff
questions. Although non-binding, they are widely used because they guarantee the
interconnectivity and interoperability of networks and enable telecommunication services to be
provided worldwide. At present, more than 3000 ITU-T Recommendations on some 70,000 pages
are in force.
ITU-T Recommendations are made available individually throughout the four-year study cycle, as
soon as they are prepared in ITU-T Study Groups and approved by ITU-T Members. The
announcement of each new or revised ITU-T Recommendation is made through the ITU News
magazine, the Notifications, and the List of ITU-T Recommendations. There exist three
complementary formats of the ITU-T Recommendations available for sale: the paper version,
individually downloadable electronic format and DVD-ROM.
Customers who wish to receive further details and information related to the availability and price
of these Recommendations should refer to the List of ITU-T Recommendations which contains a
comprehensive description of all the series as well as the ordering facilities. This List is available in
English, French and Spanish on request from the ITU Sales Service. It is also available online via
Internet at www.itu.int/publications. The second table is a list of the different software, test
sequences and data published by ITU-T, and intended to test different communication equipment.
Each software programme forms generally an integral part of a Recommendation and is published
as an enclosure to it. Details about price and article number can be found in the Recommendation
list. Some of these are not included in ITU-T Recommendations on DVD-ROM. For more
information, please contact the ITU Sales Service at [email protected].

ITU-T Recommendations
ITU-T Recommendations developed by the ITU Telecommunication Standardization
Sector (formerly CCITT) constitute the basis for international telecommunication
standards. They are based on studies on technical, operating and tariff questions and
serve to standardize telecommunications on a world-wide basis. This product is
available in three separate versions: English, French and Spanish, with new editions
published each March, June, September and December. Alternatively, subscriptions
covering any four consecutive editions may be purchased at any time. Each new
edition replaces the previous one.
The ITU-T Recommendations on DVD-ROM make it possible to keep in touch with the
fast-moving and complex world of telecommunication standards. They are an essential
reference for public and private telecommunication operating agencies,
manufacturers, government agencies, scientific or industrial organizations,
international organizations, consultants, technical colleges and universities, etc.
This DVD-ROM contains the current ITU-T Recommendations in Adobe AcrobatTM
Portable Document Format (PDF) and in MS Word format. This DVD-ROM does not
include certain software programmes associated with the Recommendations, which
60 must be ordered and paid for separately. Price indicated for a single-user licence.
Annual "Online Access" via www to ITU-T Recommendations is also available on a

separate basis. See Publication Notice 198.

Application of Computers and Microprocessors to the Construction,

Installation and Protection of Telecommunication Cables
1999
The first edition of this handbook was published in 1994. Due to the rapid
development of technologies, a second edition was considered useful to include new
applications for computers and microprocessors, taking into account that many
countries are adopting such devices and equipment. Outside plant occupies a wide
area which requires a large amount of investment and a huge amount of work on
design, construction, installation and protection, especially considering the new
telecommunication services now available and the future role of access networks.

Protection of Telecommunication Buildings from Fire

2002
In a telephone building, the losses from damage caused by fire not only affect the
persons and property directly involved in the calamity, but are felt throughout the
population due to the effects of the service breakdown and the consequent loss of
earnings from the service provider point of view. Moreover, the amount of
information and services available to the customers is so high, nowadays, that
equipment, buildings, infrastructures and installations need to be protected from
damage due to calamities, including fire. This handbook is specific to the prevention
of damage and the protection of telecommunication buildings from fire.

Marinized Terrestrial Cables

2002
The use of underwater optical cables, considered as coming under the heading of
terrestrial links, has dramatically increased in recent years.
This handbook describes the characteristics, including the installation methods and
68 testing, of a particular type of underwater cable known as marinized terrestrial cable
(MTC), which, based on a conventional multiple fibre terrestrial cable core, is
protected to withstand the shallow water environment and designed for specific
repeaterless applications.

Earthing and Bonding

2003
This ITU-T handbook on Earthing and Bonding is for use by engineers designing
telecommunication systems, especially those concerned with applying protective
measures. It aims to give the user a background to various terms used within the
telecommunication and power industry regarding earthing and bonding of equipment
and structures (Chapter 1) in various parts of the world. The concepts of earthing and
bonding are described (Chapter 2) together with how to implement such methods 73
(Chapters 3 and 4), detailing why these are necessary and what the results may be if
they are not performed correctly. The final section of the handbook shows how to
evaluate and maintain the effectiveness/quality of the earthing systems and bonding
networks thus created.

Mitigation measures for telecommunication installations

2004
This handbook describes case studies, supplied by ITU-T Study Group 5 members, of
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) interference problems that have affected
telecommunication systems related to emission and immunity, overvoltage and
overcurrent and the solutions to such problems. This handbook also indicates typical
sources of interference as well as the solutions that can be used to restore correct
service to the system or to avoid any such problems before they manifest themselves.
Whilst this handbook does not cover measurement methods or how to measure
emissions, overvoltage or overcurrent as these are covered within other ITU-T
Recommendations, it does, through the case studies, suggest how to detect certain
problems.

COSITU Version 1.0 SP2 - Software for the Calculation of Costs, Tariffs and
Rates for Telephone Services
July 2004
Cost-based pricing, in particular calculation of interconnection rates, has been one of
the most high-profile challenges facing both operators and regulators. Negotiating
tariffs or rates is a delicate matter, whether it is for a new operator entering a
liberalized market or a regulator wishing to set affordable tariffs for national calls
without compromising competitiveness among operators. Now, ITU’s Market,
Economics and Finance Unit has released COSITU, a practical tool which automates
the calculation of costs, taxes, tariffs and rates. This powerful tool will permit network
operators, service providers, regulators and policy-makers in developing countries to
efficiently calculate costs, taxes related to trade in international traffic (accounting,
settlement and termination rates), interconnection rates between local operators and
tariffs for national and international telephone services, both fixed and mobile. COSITU
SP2 is a bilingual software package (software on CD-ROM + user manual:
English/Spanish and English/French versions). The English/Russian version will be
available soon.

Investing in Telecommunications and ICTs in Developing Markets: Shifting

the Paradigm
2003
Telecommunications and ICTs have become a key infrastructure necessary for human
development. As the sector has transformed into one driven by commercial interest,
one question begs to be answered: what actions can be taken to stimulate private
investment in the sector, particularly in countries and regions where the opportunities
are less obvious? This report provides insight into answers to this question by
analysing trends, examining risk factors facing potential investors and by identifying
specific investment opportunities in developing markets. Finally, the report makes
specific recommendations to the various stakeholders on actions that can be taken to
'shift the paradigm' so that investment will be attracted to those markets most in need.

Trends in Economics and Finance Volume II: Use of Economic Modelling

in Telecommunications
2006
In the telecommunication industry, economic modelling techniques such as regression 83
analysis, simulations and linear programming are powerful tools that can aid decision
making for governments, regulatory authorities and telecommunication operators.
Nevertheless, in many countries such techniques are often under-employed. The aim
of this report is to describe the various economic modelling techniques and how they
can be used to solve practical problems facing the telecommunication industry: for
example how a proposed merger may affect competitive behaviour or how demand
and profitability may be affected by a price change.

Trends in Telecommunication Reform 2002: Effective Regulation

92 4th edition, 2002
The fourth edition of Trends in Telecommunication Reform is dedicated to the theme
of effective and independent regulation.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, the number of regulatory institutions has increased
from 13 to more than 110, with many of them having been created in the past five
years. But merely creating a regulatory body without empowering it to be effective is
not enough. The report looks at the need for regulators; the process of creating a
regulator; definitions of independence; why effectiveness may be more important
than independence; powers and functions of the regulator; transparency in the
decision-making process; organizational structure and finance issues. It is structured
into nine chapters.

Telecommunication Policies
96 Telecommunication Policies for the Arab Region (The Arab Book)

2002
The Arab Book contains guidelines and recommendations for governments of the Arab
region embarking on reform of their telecommunication sector. It was elaborated with
the active participation of experts from the region's administrations. This second
edition acknowledges the important changes that have affected the sector since 1996,
year of the publication of the first edition. Since that date, following Jordan's example,
eight other countries in the region have established a regulatory authority independent
from the incumbent operator. Five of these countries have, in addition, introduced
competition in an important segment of their telecommunication market.
In addition to the themes presented in the previous edition, the reader will find a
summary of the experience of Egypt, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco and Sudan in the
area of sector reform, and a new chapter devoted to recent development of the
Internet.

Final report of ITU-D Focus Group 7: New Technologies for Rural

Applications
2001
More than 2.5 billion people (over 40% of the planet's population) live in rural and
remote areas of developing countries. Of the small fraction that has any access to
telecommunications, voice telephony has been the main service provided. But today,
interactive multimedia services, such as e-mail, tele-education and telemedicine, are
just as important as voice connectivity. This report looks at technological
developments that have the potential to support interactive multimedia services in
109
rural and remote areas.

4.6 Operators
OPERITU: Database on Telecommunication Operators and Service

Providers in Developing Countries
2004 - Free of charge
This online database, developed by ITU at the request of ITU-D Sector Members,
contains details of telecommunication operators and service providers, both public
and private, in developing countries, together with more specific information on
various companies. It is an essential tool for operators and service providers wishing
to announce their presence, to highlight their development projects, to identify
potential partners (financiers, equipment manufacturers, software developers,
operators, etc.) and to address market opportunities. In addition, it gives firms wishing
to participate in telecommunication development in developing countries the
possibility of targeting and profiling operators and service providers more accurately,
while at the same time opening up attractive prospects in areas of collaboration.
This system, which is available on the ITU website
(http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/OPERITU/), allows search by region/country or by selecting
predefined criteria. It is updated on a regular basis.

4.7 Least Developed Countries
The Application of Information and Communication Technologies in the
Least Developed Countries for Sustained Economic Growth
2004
A lot has been said about the digital divide that exists between the developed and the
least developed countries (LDCs). Yet so little is being said about the opportunities
that exist in the ICT Sector in the LDCs. This report takes a very close look at this
group of countries and advances the argument that ICTs can play a catalytic role in
getting these countries out of their current poverty trap. In that respect, a win-win
outcome for both the investor and the countries is not in question.

2005
The use of Internet Protocol (IP)-based technologies is now a strategic element in the
design, development and use of telecommunication networks. Consequently, there is
a growing interest in the policy and regulatory issues related to the growth of IP-based
networks, such as the Internet, and their convergence with other networks. The ITU
project team worked diligently to provide a factual, unbiased account of how IP-based
networks, including the Internet, work today, as well as some of the key policy issues
associated with the proliferation of these networks and services.
