RE: [ippm] ITU Recommendations are free on a permanent basis

["Robert Holley \(rholley\)" <rholley at cisco.com>]

Al,

I think this will be noted as a milestone in the history of
communications (long over due imho).

P.S. several years ago I started a bullet list chronology of the
telecommunications industry events (sad, but nothing better to do in
spare time ;).

I'll definitely add this and maybe someday write a book or something.

Regards
Bob
