Soon we will have televisions that can listen, PCs that can speak, and telephones you can watch.
We need a vast expansion of our communication and information network and ITU as the principle driving force behind international policy, technological development, cooperation and skills transfer, is an indispensable agent in this regard
People will not have to think about moving their information around. Any files or favourites or messages that they are interested in should just immediately show up wherever they are, whether it is the television that will be connected to the Internet, their mobile phone, their computer in their car, or their PC in all its various forms
