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 standardized cross borders solutions

ETSI success is based on attracting new Members and developing high quality standards that

– enable interoperability – encourage innovation, open up new markets – create trust and confidence in products – bring down costs and increases competition – avoid duplication of effort

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 to retain customers

Standards enable the development of profitable industrial ecosystems

Increase the likelihood of interoperability in a multi-equipment provider and in a multi-service provider environment

11

Standards and service creation

Standards facilitate a multi-service provider environment thereby providing for competitive pricing of services interchangeable end user terminal equipment

Standardized solutions

in the “lower and middle layers” enable the development

of value added services and applications

This is highly critical in regions where

local manufacturing industry cannot compete on a global scale (yet)

the service industry is highly creative and competitive there is a strong political push to rely on ICT and

education to develop.

12

In case you think standardizers are idealists

Up to 80% of trade (4 trillion USD per annum)

is affected by standards or associated technical regulations. (OECD)

ICT sector is a 650billion USD per annum

global industry, the largest sector in the world, accounting for more than 2% of world GDP

and representing nearly 20% of world trade.

“Standards allow different entities to create

technically compatible equipment and services.

It should be noted that ‘interoperability’ requires

more than ‘mere’ technical compatibility.

However, without standards neither compatibility

nor interoperability would be possible”.

About Interoperability and Standards

Report of the High Level Group on DRM, July 04

14

INDEED, SOCIETY, USERS, WE

ARE NOT INTERESTED IN STANDARDS!

THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS:

HOW TO MAKE BEST USE OF STANDARDS

TO BUILD SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS

THAT WILL BEST SERVE USERS’ AND

MARKET’S INTERESTS

15

WE USERS WANT TO PLUG AND PLAY!

WE WANT, NEED, INSIST IN

INTEROPERABILITY!

16

Fragmentation of standards making market and usage driven standardization (e.g. e-gov)

huge consequences on Interoperability

End to end monolithic standards are behind us

Complex value chains

Service platform approach

with multiple horizontal layers

Standard & non-standard

building blocks for platforms

17

Therefore

The very meaning of interoperability evolves with stakeholders and markets’ needs:

From specifying end to end systems to a logic of building blocks

From standardizing interfaces a priori to addressing interoperability of components a posteriori

Very hot topic on ETSI’s strategic agenda

Objectives of @METIS

19

Objectives of the meeting

Get to know each other better

Explore common possible strategies and

projects

Highlight areas of common interest

Select (technical) topics for potential

Identify methods for cooperation

Start elaborating a roadmap
