And one of the primary reasons the Internet exists in the open and
transparent form it does today is because those bodies (CCITT->ITU-T etc.)
have not been involved in most of the research and engineering.

On the other hand, the 'net is now so ubiquitous that maybe maturity brings
that level of self-interest based regulation.
