Its disappointing Gordon that you make fun rather than try to understand
the distinction being made and try to help to clarify rather
than obfuscate.

But the Internet has been created through a process of RFCs that have
helped to define it, not as either defined by or in reaction to
ITU.
The RFC's point to the Internet as a public internetwork of autonomous
networks.
Those distinctions are important.
Also there is a need to understand the Internet's unique development
which is different from that of the telephone system.
Hence ITU law or reaction to ITU law is not an appropriate way
to determine the nature of the Internet.
