World Telecommunication Day has been celebrated annually on May 17 since 1969, marking the founding of International Telecommunications Union (ITU). In November 2005, the World Summit on the Information Society called upon the United Nations General Assembly to declare May 17 as World Information Society Day to focus on the importance of ICT and the wide range of issues related to the Information Society.
The General Assembly adopted a resolution in March 2006 stipulating that World Information Society Day shall be celebrated every year on May 17.
The theme this year is: WTISD 2011: Better life in rural communities with ICTs.
