The ITU gives a voice (if you'll excuse the pun) to every country, big and small
Two things are re-assuring though:
- in many of the small countries that deploy such things universally, Internet access is often just as cost effective by dedicated satellite uplinks (and many corporate users and hotels purchase such links to go directly to European ISPs)
- and the GDP of all those little countries that want these things, summed together, is less than that of the US + EU combined, so it is unlikely they have the influence to impose such things on industry
The very evolution of the Internet is itself evidence of the fact that traditional ITU methods of doing things couldn't supply what the world needs
So in a system where 1 country = 1 vote, they can all band together and vote for such policy, but they only succeed in making the ITU even more irrelevant.
Did you see this story from yesterday?

Quite a rift, it seems. Things could get very silly.
