Talking about a revolution…

Not so long ago…

• Telco considered a utility- Basic services & no competition

• State-owned incumbents

• National/regional players

• Less than 5 regulatory bodies worldwide

• 120 Members in ETSI (3% Asso.)

… Today

• Deconstruction of traditionalvalue chains > value networks

• Liberalization/privatization >  New entrants, new businesses& users become clients

• Global markets-global playersWall Street agendas & market caps > many countries’ GDPs

• 120+ regulatory bodies worldwide

• 600 Members in ETSI (20% Asso.)

Big Trends in World of Standards

Partnership model and/or merger becoming popular (e.g. 3GPP, OMA, MPLSF, L2F)

A plethora of new fora is slowing but still significant

IPR Policies may be changing with some going “Royalty Free” (W3C)

Traditional bodies are still leader for some topicse.g. long haul optical networks in ITU-T

3GPP has become the “main place” for mobile standards

Trends - Household Telecoms Spend

“Weekly household expenditure on television and telephony rose from £10.06 to £16.36 from 1999 to 2003, and now makes up 4.0% of total household expenditure.”

Quality Management in ETSI Secretariat

ETSI has been certified to the ISO International Quality Standard since 1994.

In February 2003, the ETSI Secretariat achieved the official extension of its ISO-certificate showing that the quality management system and its application meet the requirements of the new ISO Standard 9001:2000.

ETSI is also member of the European Foundation for Quality Model (EFQM)

ETSI success story – GSM

Conceived as a digital replacement for ageing analogue mobile systems in Europe, GSM has now become a truly global system

The figures speak for themselves:

over one billion GSM users worldwide

over 550 GSM networks in around 200 countries/areas

45+ billion SMS messages per month

GSM accounts for 73% of the World's digital market and 72% of the World's wireless market

What is NGN for ETSI?

Key characteristics Architecture based on decoupling of services and

networks with multiple layers and planes defined Provides capabilities to make the creation, deployment

and management of all kinds of services possible Has functional entities that may be distributed over the

infrastructure with communication via open interfaces Supports both existing and "NGN aware" End Terminal

Devices

NGN is a concept for defining and deploying networks, which, due to their formal separation into different layers and planes and use of open interfaces, offers service providers and operators a platform which can evolve in a step-by-step manner to create, deploy and manage innovative services

The ETSI Vision

Mobile/Fixed Convergence, on the “IMS”platform A multi-service multi-protocol, multi-access, IP

based network - secure, reliable and trusted Multi-services: delivered by a common QoS

enabled core network. Multi-access: diverse access networks; fixed and

mobile terminals, (Mobile, xDSL, etc) Not one network, but different networks that

interoperate seamlessly Mobility / Nomadicity of both users and devices “My communications services”

anywhere, any terminal

This leads to a true N G N

MatchMaker Programme

“Co-organized with ETSI members of the ex-accession countries, EU countries and business representatives

To further increase the visibility of ETSI world-wide

To promote and support the European telecommunications standards in the CEE and CIS countries.

Round table meetings with telecoms communities.

Main objectiveBring practical information to the Accession Countries' telecom communities about the many changes that will affect the telecom standardization environment when the enlargement process is completed and to give examples of best business practices.

ETSI's IPR Policy

Goal: to ensure that an ETSI standard cannot be blocked by the

refusal of an IPR holder to grant licences for the use of his Essential IPR

Defines the obligations and rights of Members… …in respect of the identification and notification of IPRs

essential for ETSI standards• IPR statement and licensing declaration forms on web

Defines the obligations of the Institute: Inform users of standards about Essential IPRs, by:

• publishing details in SR 000 314• publishing details in standards wherever possible• publishing details on the web

May be found in Annex 6 of the ETSI Rules of Procedure

60

Why work in standards?

In summary: Create a more favourable environment in which to do business

Save money andavoid wasted R&D

Build credibility with customers

Innovate

Be seen asa leader

Control evolution of market

Understand risks associated with standards

“Open the box”

61

Industry expectations from Standardization ? (1)

Liberalization of the market Bigger markets Openness Minimum of technical regulations Minimum of political interventions As little as possible national influence Biggest possible dissemination Adequate IPR compensation IPR licenses under fair, reasonable & non-

discriminatory terms and conditions

62

Industry expectations from Standardization ? (2)

International standards for the global market

Standards with market relevance Demands by the market Fulfilling market needs

Direct membership & participation At lowest cost (price)

63

Industry expectations from Standardization ? (3)

Standards ensure timely provisioning of Global Networking Global interworking

Standards are basis for fair competition

Standards facilitate improved market growth (economy of scale)

64

Industry expectations from Standardization ? (4)

• Obtain good standards that are :

– Not too detailed, but unambiguous

– Detailed enough in order to allow for multi-vendor operation

– Modular structure preferred

– Clearly defined interfaces

– Technology independence

– Easily and fast adaptable to new technology

– Useable in different networks

65

Openness fueling market growth and innovation

Identified benefits includeCost reduction due to increased competitionGreater interoperabilityIncreased customer choiceMore innovationAnd many others

66

Standardization meets industry expectations

Load sharing / Cost saving Creation of a critical mass Bringing economy of scale Close co-operation of competitors Reduction of solutions to a minimum:

preferably ONE! Greater interoperability Increased customer choice A fight against technical barriers to

trade

STANDARDIZATION > INNOVATION

67

COPRAS Cooperation Platform for

Research & Standards

An opportunity to coordinate ICT research and standardization efforts, also in the area of eSafety of road & air transport and ITS

COPRAS will streamline the interface between standardisation & research

Survey projects for standards related output Analyse feedback & select projects to define

Standardisation Action Plans with Install mechanisms & tools for cooperation between

research and standardisation, also across different areas Arrange input from research projects into standardisation

processes and promote new work items resulting from research project’s output

Ensure relevant input from standards bodies to research projects

68

A variety of stakeholders need collaboration between research and standardization

Research projects have a cost-effective way of setting up an

interface with the standards world

Standards bodies can reduce overlap and better organise

flow of relevant material

Standards need to available to the industry and the

general public at an earlier time

Research and standardization aspects of the

eEurope activity need to be linked with further IST

deployment

COPRAS

69

Whereas: Globalisation confronts development research and

education with new challenges, reflected at a later stage in standardization initiatives

ETSI recognizes: The enthusiasm of the research and education looking

towards the future and identifying new work The role of research in developing future ICT standards The need to strategically co-ordinate and integrate

common areas of interest by means of joint projects The importance of expertise sharing

ETSI fosters close collaboration with the research & education communities

70

Standardization & innovation

IN THE AREA OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS

STANDARDIZATION TAKES PLACE - IN MOST CASES –

PRIOR TO OR IN PARALLEL WITH THE DEVELOPMENT …

THAT IS WHY STANDARDIZATION IN THE AREA

OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS LEADS

TOWARDS INNOVATION!
