World Telecommunication and Information Society Day

History

World Telecommunication Day

World Telecommunication Day has been celebrated annually on 17 May since 1969, marking the founding of ITU and the signing of the first International Telegraph Convention in 1865. It was instituted by the Plenipotentiary Conference in Malaga-Torremolinos in 1973 as Resolution 46.

World Information Society Day

In November 2005, the World Summit on the Information Society called upon the UN General Assembly to declare 17 May as World Information Society Day to focus on the importance of ICT and the wide range of issues related to the Information Society raised by WSIS. The General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/RES/60/252) in March 2006 stipulating that World Information Society Day shall be celebrated every year on 17 May.

World Telecommunication and Information Society Day

In November 2006, the ITU Plenipotentiary Conference in Antalya, Turkey, decided to celebrate both events on 17 May as World Telecommunication and Information Society Day. The updated Resolution 68 invites Member States and Sector Members to celebrate the day annually by organizing appropriate national programmes with a view to:

stimulating reflection and exchanges of ideas on the theme adopted by the Council

debating the various aspects of the theme with all partners in society

formulating a report reflecting national discussions on the issues underlying the theme, to be fed back to ITU and the rest of its membership

4H1GH DXPEDITION

4H1GH DXPEDITION

After more than 3 years of hiatus due to the CoVid-19 pandemic, the Ham Radio Emergency Communication Group (DX1HAM) DX Team will be active again as 4H1GH , on May 20-24, 2023 in a DXpedition to the Highest Point of the Philippine Highway System at Brgy. Cattubo, Atok, Benguet. This DXpedition was conceptualized before this landmark was dethroned on March 2019 by the highest point along Kiangan-Tinoc-Bugias Road by an elevation of 568.07 feet above sea level. Although this DXpedition was overtaken by this event, it is still worth pursuing because it was once one of the crowning glories of the Province of Benguet and a favorite stopover of travelers for sightseeing and picture taking. The significance of the landmark has not diminished and will not be forgotten.
