Keeping up with progress
ITU continued its technical work throughout World War I, but no international meetings took place until the 1925 International Telegraph Conference in Paris. It officially incorporated into ITU the International Long-distance Telephone Consultative Committee (CCIF), and created the International Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCIT). Two years later, the Radiotelegraph Conference, held in Washington in 1927, established the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR). Together, the three committees were made responsible for coordinating technical studies and drawing up international standards in all these fields of telecommunications. The CCIF and CCIT were merged in 1956 to form the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCITT).
