ITU Council Opts for a Shanghai WRC-27
ITU Council members voted Thursday to hold the 2027 World Radiocommunication Conference in Shanghai. The U.S. had also offered to host, but its bid was seen as a long shot (see 2506250005). The ITU told us that 25 out of 48 ITU Council members voted in favor of Shanghai, 17 against, with five abstentions and one invalid vote. It said the decision now requires the concurrence of a majority of ITU member states.
