ETSI: A Standardization Success Story
ETSI since its establishment in 1988 has established itself in a relatively short time as a premier multinational SDO
ETSI has flourished as deregulation took hold and as the European Community expanded, increasing the importance of telecommunications standards
ETSI success is based on developing high quality standards and continuing to attract new Members based on advocating the benefits of standards
– enable interoperability – helps prevent the duplication of effort – encourages innovation– creates trust and confidence in products – expands the market, brings down costs
and increases competition

Nortel “why ETSI?”
« Direct participation by members
The place where our customers and regulators go
Innovative, well respected and well connected world wide
Shared development cost with the complete industry
A great place to see and drive the convergence of IT and electronic communications based on complete system design expertise”
4
Vodafone- Why ETSI?
“Has highest reputation as the place for telecom standards
Basis of many world-renowned standards such as GSM from 3GPP, with Mobile Competence Centre
Partnership with US, Japan, China, Korea
Recognised by EU and ITU – and most other standards bodies
Overheads lower with more projects to share these costs”

Reference to standards & recommendations (ITU, ETSI…) fortenders, licencing schemes, optimum spectrum usage, numbering, dispute resolution etc.
Policy makers’ job is to make decisions that will structure the market on a long term basis with a view to cater to end user interests.
Regulators & policy makers Identify potential policy/regulatory issues embedded in standard-making Impact on elaboration of standards to fulfill competition rules, national
policies, optimum use of scarce resources, etc Ensure they operate on (and contribute to) open and fair markets conditions
Policy makers’ & regulators’ perspective

Open meetings All stakeholders may participate in the standards development process
Consensus All interests are discussed and agreement foundDue Process Balloting and appeal process may be used to find
resolution
Open IPR Holders of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) must identify themselves during the standards development process
Open World Same standard for the same function world-wideOpen Access Open access committee: documents, drafts and
completed standards
On-going Support Standards supported until user interest ceases rather than when provider interest declines
Open Interfaces Allow additional functions, public or proprietary
Open Use Low or no charge for IPR necessary to implement an accredited standard
Open markets Interoperability users are not locked in with one supplier/service provider
Open Standards
10
Open standards are a key variable in leveling the playing field
Standards Facilitate a multi-supplier environment thereby providing for
– competitive pricing of equipment
– more robust and assured supply channels
– innovation in order to differentiate product and retain customers
Increase the likelihood of interoperability in a multi-equipment provider and multi-service provider environment
Standards enable the development of profitable industrial ecosystems
Open standards > user in the driving seat
11
Open standards and service creation
Standards facilitate a multi-service provider environment thereby providing for
competitive pricing of services interchangeable end user terminal equipment
This is highly critical in countries/regions Where local manufacturing industry cannot compete on
a global scale (yet) That are standards adopters (so far) That have highly educated and competent workforce is
SW development Where the service industry is highly creative and
competitive Where there is a strong political push to rely on ICT and
education to develop.

DVB-RCS is an is an Open standard
Scrutinised, optimised, built by consensus
Based on commercial requirements
Broad range of services and applications supported
Future-proof (e.g. DVB-S2)
Based on successful DVB-S
Availability of mass market low cost satellite TV receivers
Enables interoperability between products
13
Changing environment: our analysis
1. Fragmentation of standards making market End to end monolithic standards are behind us
2. Usage/applications-driven standardization « Shopping » for standards
Interoperability ex-post
3. So long the split standards makers/standards takers China, Latin America…who’s next?
14
Changing environment: our analysis
4. ICT increasingly software intensive Priority: develop systems, components, products FAST Interoperability (of components) comes next
5. Stakes moving up towards middleware Infrastructure converging (IMS) Point of gravity of convergence IT/telco/broadcast/CE is in
middleware - e.g. Mobile TV Convergence: no picnic, rather plate tectonics
6. Open standards are necessary, but not sufficient To start with, there are plenty of very good ones to choose from What standards to enable the creation of value/industrial
ecosystems around a technology?
15
We believe it’s about Interoperability
But the very meaning of “Interoperability” changes
From specifying end to end systems to a logic of assembling (standard & non-standard) building blocks From standardizing interfaces ex ante to
addressing interoperability of components ex post
Standardization has always been about interoperability
16
We believe it is about standards integration (1)
In a fragmented standards making market an agreed architecture is key to achieve interoperability.
ETSI focus is on technical interoperability (inter-working) Ex-ante specs: requirements, architecture, protocol (profiles) Ex-post specs: conformance tests, interoperability tests
Standards architect: system integrator (design for interoperability) and project coordinator
17
Standards integration (2)
Efficient collaboration with other standards bodies and forums is a pre-requisite e.g. GSMA, OMA, WIMAX forum etc
Development of the ETSI interoperability “product line” In addition to conformance testing and IOT Creation of a group on IOP (Interoperability process) to
coordinate generic aspects of interoperability Hub of 3G/IMS/NGN test-beds in process EU/LA initiative on interop profiles for e-gov applications
18
We believe it is about dosage
What/when to standardize to meet players’ strategies?
Need for standards/interoperability when heterogeneous systems are converging (e.g FMC, Telecoms/broadcast/IT)
Market differentiation standard bodies shouldn’t be over religious with interoperability
An interesting case interoperability strategies of IM players entering the “telecom” market…and vice versa - see announcements at 3GSM (“15 cellcos take mobile IM interoperability pledge”)
19
Last but not least, it’s minding other variables of the equation
Competition/competitiveness Global standards/regional blocks EU policy making (incl. spectrum, competition, etc) Impact of OSS IPRs in standards etc “It’s not peace we’re seeking, it’s meaning”
Ears to the ground Members driven changes
