Dear H. E. Dr. Toure:
(1) It was certainly my great pleasure to have met with you at the annual conference of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) at Columbia University on September 24th (ATTACHMENT I below).
I was very much impressed by your excellent inspiring speech, and when I made my question during the Q&A session, I was very pleased to receive your response saying that you recognized my name, since your predecessor, Mr. Yoshio Utsumi (Reference (a) above) has the same family name as mine, as being probably my distance relative.
BTW, I was at your room at the top of ITU building in Geneva when Yoshio was receiving a baton of Director Generalship of ITU from Dr. Pekka Tarjanne (Reference (b) above), when I visited them with Prof. Tapio Varis, the Acting President of our Global University System (GUS) (References (d) and (f) above) who was a good friend of Dr. Tarjanne — I was very sorry when he died a few years ago while he was one of GUS trustee members with Dr. Federico Mayor, former DG of UNESCO (Reference (c) above).
(2) At that time, I mentioned of the followings;
(a) The innovation made for the fast extrusion of optical fiber by Dr. Thomas Mensah (a Ghanaian), which initiated the Internet2 and subsequent Broadband Internet activities around the world (References (i) and (j) above),
(b) The “Africa Connect to Europe (ACE)” ultra high-speed (5 tera bps) optical fiber submarine cable along the west coast of Africa by Prof. Victor Lawrence (a Ghanaian) of Baharicom Development Company at Stevens Institute of Technology (Reference (k) above),
(c) Global Ring Network for Advanced Applications Development (GLORIAD) by Prof. Greg Cole at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville (UTK) (Reference (k) above).
I then urged you to devise the global telecom policies in the 21st century to foster creativity of youngsters around the world with global collaboration through global broadband Internet. This is to comply with the basic principles (*) of packet-switching technology invented by Late Paul Baran (Reference (h) above), a strong supporter of our GUS and Global Early Warning System (GEWS) (Reference (g) above) (which is the outgrowth of the "Globally Collaborative Environmental Peace Gaming (GCEPG)" (Reference (e) above) -- which paper was firstly published at the First International Computer Communication Conference (ICCC) in Washington, DC, in October, 1972 — see below.
(*) As one of Paul’s papers mentioned, those principles are Sharing and Collaboration, which are the basis of attaining the world peace.
Dear Greg:
(3) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below).
(4) Upon your suggestion, I enjoyed attending the annual conference of the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) at Columbia University on September 24th.
As it is a part of the Business School of Columbia University, the most of discussions were how to make money with the use of broadband Internet.
However, to me, they were in a dilemma with contradictory mind-settings between;
(a) Conventional mentality of analog telephony,
Because of huge investment required, telecommunication infrastructure was only established and administered by governments, and hence prevention of interference or eavesdropping were utmost necessity. For example, the
Japanese telecom policies were clearly prohibited the exchange of messages via router by private industry, since it should be done by the government monopoly, Nippon Telephone and Telegraph (NTT) for domestic telecommunications and/or Kokusai Denshin Denwa (KDD) for overseas telecommunications.
The Japanese telecom policies required that, if a private industry wanted to send a message, it had to change its content when it passed through a router computer — for example, if you want to send a msg saying “Hey!, I got a new baby, it is a boy!!” You have to change it to “girl.”
In other words, Japanese government prohibited any email services by private service vendors.
This was the major block prohibited my effort of introducing Telenet (a commercial version of ARPANET and a predecessor of Internet) to Japan in late 1970s — see below.
(b) Creation of value by changing the contents of information.
An analogy may be made between a chemical plant and telecom industry. In the former, there are many various chemical equipment which are connected by piping each other.
The telecom industry which engages with the transportation of information/substance without changing its content may correspond to the job of piping engineering, thus it is often called as “plumber.”
Among the equipment in the chemical plant, a chemical reactor is the key to add values, since it is the one to change the substance transported via the piping.
I agree with you that the Information Society of 20th century is now evolving to the Knowledge Society of the
21th century.However, it is necessary to know that the “making money” with new knowledge can only be made by the transformation/change of old knowledge/information, and such “transformation” and “change” may contradict with the conventional mentality of analog telephony, if it still hovering around.
(5) Right after I saw the demonstration of ARPANET (the very first packet-switching data telecom network, the predecessor of the current Internet) at the First International Conference on Computer Communication (ICCC) at the Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC in October 1972, I initiated the globalization of the network as extending the data network from the US to Asian countries, particularly to Japan;
Figure 1: <http://tinyurl.com/93m78wk>
I then encountered with severe opposition from the Japanese Ministry
of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) (*) and KDD (the Japanese overseas telecom authority) and on the use of email through the extended network because of the conventional mentality of analog telephony mentioned above — see my saga in the References (l) and (m) above.
(*) At that time, Yoshio Utsumi was the section manager of data telecommunication, the center of the world most notorious feudalistic bastion on the opposition to my effort of extending the US data telecom (a predecessor of Internet) to Japan. As said in the References (l) and (m) above, I then solicited support letters from many major US corporations and submitted many thick petitions on behalf of KDD to several US governmental agencies including the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). My petition to the FCC said that the Japanese were not necessary stupid, but just did not know the merits of packet switching technology yet. The FCC’s final verdict allowed the extension of Telnet’s services to Japan as saying that they noted my contention well. I was very pleased when Mr. Reed Hundt, then the Chairman of the (FCC) remembered me at the CITI’s annual conference at Columbia University a few years ago — even more than three decades later of my petition submitted to the FCC. I was also fortunate to have a help from the Late US Commerce Secretary Malcom Baldrige, with his banging the Japanese MPT as the US/Japan trade non-tariff issues.
I spent considerable amount of my time, effort and fund for this for almost a decade from 1972 to 1982 — even smashing three typewriters of my wife for composing many petitions to various US governmental agencies and major corporations. I was then rather surprised to find an article saying that the Japanese MPT initiated the de-regulation of telecom policies for the coming data telecom networks (i.e,, Internet) -- see <http://tinyurl.com/98e82hb>.

Dear Victor:
(6) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT II below).
Pls feel free to contact H.E. Dr Hamadoun I. Toure.
Dear Ed:
(7) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT III below).
As looking the videoconferences you indicated, I was very surprised the tremendous progresses made since I organized “Global Lecture Hall (GLH)” multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia, interactive videoconferences once or twice every year in the 1990s — see Reference (n) -- particularly 1994 GLH which is said the one initiated
GLORIAD. Those videoconferences via Giga bit broadband Internet are almost same or better quality to analog satellite transmission — we would need to work hard to have similar benefits to African countries via ACE of Baharicom and GLORIAD.
(8) However, as same as the discussions at the CITI at Columbia University mentioned above, those people are mainly concerned how to make money with only transportation of information, which is corresponding to postal service, airline, railroad, etc. -- namely, without changing its content as Conventional mentality of analog telephony, which strongly opposed my effort of introducing email to Japan by the Japanese MPT and KDD as mentioned above.
On the other hand, the changing the content is the way to add values to make money. This changing the content is, in other words, to create new knowledge. What I urged to Dr. Toure, the DG of ITU (see above) is to create an environment in developing countries, especially in Africa, as stimulating creativity of youngsters there in global collaboration mode.
Best, Tak

Tak, thought you might find this of interest (it's evidently at Columbia on September 24).
Subject: ITU Sec. General Hamadoun Touré Added to State of Telecom Conference (NYC Sept. 24)Date: September 13, 2012 9:44:07 AM EDTTo: David Farber < [email protected] >
Dave,
For your IP list perhaps?
I just wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of two new items related to CITI’s annual “State of Telecom” conference to be held on Sept. 24 at the Columbia Business School. (This year the conference theme is “Over the Top: New Business Models with New International Telecom Rules? We will be looking at the development of “Over the Top” services and the possibility that they will be regulated in some fashion through changes to international treaties at an ITU conference to be held in December.)
So, we are very pleased that the Secretary General of the ITU, Hamadoun Touré, has just advised us that he will be able to speak at the event. Secretary General Touré will join NTIA Administrator Larry Strickling, Australian Broadband Minister Sen. Stephen Conroy and a number of distinguished panelists. See the Agenda at http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/filemgr?&file_id=72216 <http://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/filemgr?&file_id=72216> 02 for all the latest information regarding speakers.
In addition, we have decided to hold the conference in the largest room available at the Business School in order to accommodate the growing interest in the conference. The event will be in 301 Uris Hall. While the room is large, I would urge immediate registration to be sure of getting a seat. Registration is available at https://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/citi/events/sot20 <https://www4.gsb.columbia.edu/citi/events/sot20> 12
I can provide some IP members the NGO/Academic/Government rate of $50 (although full fee registrations are of course permitted and welcomed) and I can also offer a limited number of “free passes” to IPers. If anyone would like the special rates, they should contact me off-
line.
Let me know if you have and questions or comments.
Thanks
Bob-- Robert C. AtkinsonDirector of Policy ResearchColumbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI)Columbia Business School
I am sorry I was not able to attend the ITU Sec. General Hamadoun Touré's talk. Please let me know where he is staying in New York or let me know how I can reach him.
Victor.
