Standardization to ensure
Interoperability
Georg Lütteke, Philips CEChairman EICTA Interoperability Task Force
ETSI SOS Interoperability Workshop, 20 February 2006
Focus Area Interoperability
Convergence and Interoperability
Interoperability White Paper
Standardization and Interoperability
2EICTA Interoperability
Task ForceETSI SOS Interop 3, 20 Febr. 2006
• Published in summer 2004
• Interoperability as business enablement
• Focus on public sector / governments
• Continuation of white paper with focus on two aspects
• Activities started in summer 2005
• Stronger technical focus
EICTA and Interoperability
EICTA has long advocated interoperability in specific contexts: eEurope, software, mobile communications, digital broadcasting
Interoperabiliy Task Force set up in September 2003
Task force produced generic “White Paper on Interoperability” approved by Executive Board on June 21, 2004: systematic analysis, policy summary

Task ForceETSI SOS Interop 3, 20 Febr. 2006
EICTA definition: Interoperability
The ability of two or more networks, systems, devices, applications or components to exchange information between them and to use the information so exchanged
The ability of two or more networks, systems, devices, applications or components to exchange information between them and to use the information so exchanged
• EICTA focus here: technical capability• note: other important factors influence actual ability to access and consume a service

Interoperability more important than ever
Digital Technologies promise a world of any content, any service - anytime and anywhere Without sense and simplicity this promise will fail
do not force consumers to care about underlying technologiesif it only works “sometimes”, ever more functionality amounts practically to ever less use
No mass markets without seamless interoperability between devices and services

Business in Converging Environments
Convergence caused by digital technologies offers new opportunitiesEnd-to-end interoperability makes value chains happenConvergence of networks and services (fixed and mobile) is about combining existing value chains and their traditions into new onesMaintaining interoperability in this process is the key challenge
Interoperability decisive for how rapidly we get to mass market benefits of convergence

Content Circulation in Converging Environments
Transport Interoperability: Network delivery, passing from one network to anotherRights and Protection: Transferring rights from one
domain to anotherContent Repurposing: Adapting content to the
various delivery channels
