ITU-T and standards adoption & collaboration

What ITU does ? n International telecoms/ICT standardization n Collaboration in international tariff-setting n Measures for ensuring safety of life (EMC, Telecoms for Disaster Relief, etc.) n Extension of universal access n Spectrum allocation and registration n Coordination of national spectrum planning n Cooperation in telecoms development n Policy reviews, information exchange

ITU-T: central role in international telecom standardization n In the past l Pure intergovernmental with participation of industry l International coordination with a few recognized SDOs n Today l Market-oriented and contribution driven l Work shared by government, regulator, service providers, operators, vendors, manufacturers, civil society l Involvement with academia, research and development centres l Cooperation at regional and international level

ITU-T main achievements Telephony Tariff & Accounting Universal Access Assignment of International Country Codes Transport Network, Management & Signalling Multimedia: ITU-T H.262 (MPEG2) & ITU-T H.264 (MPEG4-10) Advanced Video Coding for DVD players, 3G phones and video-conferencing equipment Internet access ADSL, VDSL, Gbit/s optical multiplatform VoIP Next Generation Network Pioneer Focus Group Public Key Security Infrastructure

ITU-T cooperation Informal Forum Summits Workshops & Seminars in HQs & in the Regions Technology Watch: Academia, R&D Developing Countries, standards awareness WSC (ISO & IEC); IETF; GSC (ACIF, ARIB, ATIS, ETSI, TIA, TSACC, TTA, TTC) Connect the World by 2015 Project

Tools for cooperation n Recs. A.4 & A.6: exchange of info with Forums/Consortia & regional SDOs n Rec.A.5: normative referencing n A-Series Suppl. 3  with IETF n Memoranda of Understanding & Joint groups n Joint events: cross-participation in meetings, workshops, seminars, etc n Common texts (with ISO&IEC: Res.7 & Rec. A.23) n Focus Groups (Rec. A.7) l Migration of work l Joint work in themes of interest l Outreach to non-members eHSCG PCP-TDR FS-VDSL FG-NGN Network Management
