LME/DMU Inge Jonsson 4 Standardization is needed to secure Telecom with Global coverage Open market will create, by trial and error, valuable communication services Proposal ITU to standardize fundamentals (radio resource allocation, addressing, user roaming, etc.) of the Telecom infrastructure as needed for global coverage and in multi operator operation. New services will be standardized as needed by partners willing to take risks of testing new business concepts. As ITU finds such a service mature and accepted by the market, ITU then picks it up and adapts it to the existing fundamental infrastructure by new or enhanced recommendations.

LME/DMU Inge Jonsson 5 New ITU-T as the Eminent World Umbrella for Standardization - Prerequisites for support by the industry ITU-T is business driven and without government politics. Each ITU-T member, irrespective of category, has one vote in ITU-T. ITU-T is promoting the global economy with overall standardization frameworks and recommendations. Competing standardization efforts are a result of market dynamics. * Competing standardization efforts must be allowed to exist within ITU-T. * Standardization efforts driven by special interest groups outside ITU-T shall be allowed to join or co-operate with ITU-T without loss of momentum or change of procedures. When creating a ITU-T project, the scope, the approval procedures and the deliverables for the ITU-T project are defined by the project members. The ITU-T secretariat acts as an efficient administrative host and as a publishing house for the ITU-T projects.
