Outline
1. ITU-T – The Organization2. ITU-T – The Work & Services3. What can ITU-T do for the Grid
industry?

1. ITU-T – The Organization
4eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Structure of ITU: 3 Sectors
1. ITU-D: aid to developing countries2. ITU-R: radio spectrum & satellite slot
allocations3. ITU-T: standardization (this talk)
• Telecom network: arguably one of mankind’s most complex projects
• ITU-T made the necessary standards
o ITU Secretariat: based in Genevao ITU = UN agency
5eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Who comprises ITU/ITU-T?o ITU: Member States (189 countries)o ITU-T: Sector Members = private
sector• Operators & manufacturers• From start-ups to big companies• Telecom and Computing
o ITU-T Product: Recommendations (ITU-T speak for “standards”)
o Work is done by Member States & Sector Members:
• 95% of work is done by private sector• Member States: if regulatory impact
6eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
ITU-T has changed dramatically in last years
o ITU-T is fast to• start work: 1 day / few weeks (from 2-4 yrs)• develop work: weeks to 2-3 yrs (from 2-3
yrs)• approve work: 2 months (from 4 yrs)
• “Speedy Gonzalez approval procedure” for technical standards (=95% of work)
• publish work: couple of days after approval (from 2-4 yrs)
o ITU-T standardizes hot topicso ITU-T is very flexible & unbureaucratic
7eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Flexible collaboration: ITU-T Focus Group Concept
o Create forum-like entities as an “arms-length” organization under ITU-T Study Group
o Goal:• Encourage participation of members
of other organizations / non-members
o Very flexible, e.g.• Focus group can establish its own
rules of approval
8eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Strengths of ITU-To Unique partnership of industry &
governmento Truly globalo Consensus decisions guarantee wide
acceptanceo Excellent, transparent, fast procedureso Very flexible to collaborate with fora and
standards organizationso Excellent networking opportunitieso Brand nameo IPR Policyo World-class meeting facilitieso Excellent Secretariat staff

2. ITU-T – The Work & Services
10eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Making Standards: Recent highlights
o Quadrupling fibre optic transmission capacity (10 Gbit/s to 40 Gib/s): ITU-T Rec. G.959.1
o Fat pipes get fatter through Coarse Wave Division Multiplexing (ITU-T Rec. G.695)
o Novel video coding algorithm (with ISO/IEC) - expected to be deployed in all future DVD players, 3G phones and video-conferencing equipment (ITU-T Rec.H.264)
o Opening up world for interactive TV providers (ITU-T Rec. J.202)
11eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
ITU-T Study Groups
o SG 2 Operational aspects of service provision, networks and performance
o SG 3 Tariff and accounting principles including related telecommunications economic and
policy issues o SG 4 Telecommunication management, including TMN o SG 5 Protection against electromagnetic environment effects o SG 6 Outside plant o SG 9 Integrated broadband cable networks and television and sound
transmission o SG 11 Signalling requirements and protocols o SG 12 End-to-end transmission performance of networks and terminals o SG 13 Multi-protocol and IP-based networks and their internetworking o SG 15 Optical and other transport networks o SG 16 Multimedia services, systems and terminals o SG17 Data networks and software for Telecommunicationo SSG Special Study Group "IMT-2000 and beyond" o TSAG Telecommunication Standardization Advisory Group
12eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Further ITU-T Services
o Management of numbering resources
o Organization of workshops:• Convergent regulation – is it
becoming technology-neutral?, 17 May 04
• All Star network access, 2-4 June 04• Home networking and home
services, 16-18 June 04
13eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
3. How ITU-T can help the Grid industry
14eInfrastructures Open Workshop (Internet & Grids), 15 April 2004
Possible steps forward
o Grid-community to give talks at ITU-T standards meetings (mostly in Geneva) – and vice versa
• Has already been startedo ITU-T Workshop on Grids with focus
on interaction Grid & telecom industry
o Focus group concept: very flexible way to form partnerships
