Presentation Transcript

  1. Future Networks – Network Slice Taskforce #78

  2. GSMA Antitrust Policy Anti-trust law prohibits • agreements (written or implicit) between competitors which may negatively impact consumers or competitors, and • sharing of confidential information All GSMA participants must abide by the following rules: DO clearly identify the positive purpose of each project and follow it DOconsult with legal in areas where you are unsure DON’Tenter into agreements that restrict other parties’ actions or creates barriers to market entry DON’Tdiscuss or exchange information on pricing, business plans, or any other confidential or commercially sensitive data

  3. GSMA position regarding US Entity List • The US government has revised its “Entity List”, restricting the transfer of non-public US technology in a private forum to affected companies. The GSMA does not consider that it would be affected by these restrictions as: • Companies generally do not submit non-public technology • Relevant GSMA information is public, either through industry specifications or PRDs • any interested party can join GSMA projects, making them open fora • To address some Member concerns of inadvertent breach, the GSMA will put the relevant group minutes and contributions on a public website (www.gsma.com) • Some matters may not be suitable for a public website. We ask participants to identify: • If this is the case and why; and • is there a risk of the transfer of US private technology in those circumstances • Once we have established if this is an issue we will revert with more guidance
