Definitely YES. Once upon a time, the Internet was a matter for academic and military in US. Today it serves billions of poeple on the Earth with an essential communication measure.
Think about the Tsunami warning system. It couldn't be realized without use of the Internet.
Although the Internet has become one of the most important infrastructures of the world, there is no international body which is responsible to manage the Internet in the manner based on the concensus of world participants.
This absence of administration causes major difficulties like unsolicited emails, virus and worms, and unfair assignment of IP addresses.
I think ITU is the only possible solution to finish this anarchy.
