ITU must act swiftly to preserve the commonality of cultures among us and protect society from threats brought by the abuse of technology and innovation. ITU members must revisit their role, and that in today's world it is not enough for ITU to just address the issues on infrastructure development, universal access, resource management, standards and the development of ICT.
