Main ICT Standardization Challenges

Lack of institutional and legal framework to coordinate standardization activities at national levelLack of experts on ICT standardsLow level of participation from industry and private sectorFunding not readily availableCoordination issues among stakeholdersUnderstanding how emerging ICT standards will impact the future of the industry is lackingImplementation issue in absence of proper standardization setup

Most of A-P countries insufficient with: Government Policy;Government R&D budget;Personnel in government and/or SDOs;Standardization expert; andIndustry participation, etc.

in short, low level of recognition of its importance

Insufficiency

No need for voluntary standard or no distinction

Mandatory standards (Technical Regulation) regulate the market Need to consider the agreement of WTO/TBT and the era of liberalization of telecom. market: Technology Neutrality & Deregulation

Mandatory vs. Voluntary Standards

Recognizing needs for training programs on: Adopting international standards into national standards

Which elements need to keep vs. which elements need to be modifiedRelationship between technical regulation and standardsAny other considerations

Participating international standard meetings;General introduction of ITU, APT, ETSI, IEEE, etc.Their working methodsWay to acquire information at SDOs’ websitesWay to draft and present contributionWay to convene a meeting, etc.
