Present situation and future vision of ITU-T

2

TSB

ITU mainly financed by Governments

work dominated by industry

procedures very efficient, no longer slow seek effective cooperation with SDOs to share the work

should be open to emerging technologies

should be open to researchers / students

try to keep its pre-eminent status

Cooperation on common subjects (liaisons, communications,mutual participation)

Cooperation on workshops

ITU-T provide draft texts and other documents to SDOs to post for public consultation

ITU’s permission for SDOs to reproduce ITU-T texts

More to be done for mutual benefit: market study, joint promotion, mutual reference, joint conferences, efficient coordination, common IPR policy, etc.

Cooperation activities with SDOs(General)

11

TSB

In the past

- control by governments with participation of industry

- international coordination by a few recognized SDOs

Today

- market-oriented

- shared by government / regulator / service providers /vendors

- consultant / researcher / student participation

- many SDOs (national, regional, multinational,international)

Working forces for internationaltelecommunication standardization

12

TSB

rapid development of technologies

liberalization of markets

globalization of economy

convergence of services

conflicts of markets interest vs global availability

many SDOs

limited resources

expert’s prejudices based on the past

IPR issues

Challenges to standardization

13

TSB

nobody can do everything, but everybody wants more

out-of-control creation of forums / consortia / SDOs

no effective cooperation among forums / consortia / SDOs, but competition

industry suffers from heavy involvement with too many SDOs they created / sponsored (hundreds in the market)

established international SDOs not used efficiently (exploring use of existing SDOs vs proliferation of SDOs)

Challenges to SDOs
