Tony, I no longer have a TIES account so I can't look at the base document, but I don't see any great harm in the little ones you posted. They describe various aspects of "big data" (which is a big topic), and while they are clearly considering the possibility of capturing business intelligence, they don't seem to give particular stress to it versus other aspects. Unless you have more evidence I will probably continue to ignore ITU big data. Lots of people have plans to hoover up all possible data already, with or without ITU.
