Côte d'Ivoire's Regina Fleur Bessou just became the first African to run the International Telecommunication Union's Telecommunication Development Advisory Group after getting backed through regional consensus. South Korea and the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity threw their support behind the pick, which shows how international telecom groups are actually working together these days.
The appointment puts Africa front and center when it comes to steering global telecom policy and development strategies instead of just sitting on the sidelines watching other regions call the shots.
