An international standards organization for telecommunications and data transmission (Consultative Committee for International Telephony and Telegraphy).
Acronym from the French name 'Comité Consultatif International Télégraphique et Téléphonique,' now merged into ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union).
CCITT standards literally wired the modern world—the modem handshake sounds your computer made in the 1990s were CCITT protocols saying 'hello,' showing how bureaucratic committee names become embedded in our daily technology.
