5. Standardization Administration In China • Standardization Administration of China (SAC ) • To carry out centralized administration for standardization in China； • To approve the National Standard • Ministry of Information Industry （MII） • To carry out administration for standardization in communications industry • Approval the Communication Industry Standard GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

6. Standards System in China • National Standards （GB） - National Standards shall be developed for technical requirements that need to be unified national wide. - Standards in communication drafted by CCSA, censored by MII, approved and published by SAC • Communication Industry Standards（YD）and Communications Standards Technology Reference File（YDC） - Drafted by CCSA, approved and published by MII • Enterprise Standards - Drafted and published by respective enterprise. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

7. Communication Technical Report • “Communication Technical Report” is a kind of standard, which is used to standardize perspective technologies which have market demand, but is not so technically mature, and to provide in time guide for network establishment and equipment development for operators and manufacturing companies. • “Communication Technical Report” is developed , approved and published by CCSA; GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

8. Progress of Standards Study（1/2） In 2005 • 633 standards or projects totally are being developed or to be developed; • 101 standards have been already published; • CCSA put emphasis on the development of standards on - 3G. - softswiching network - multimedia services etc. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

9. Progress of Standards Study （2/2） CCSA has started studies on some important and hot new communication technologies such as • home network; • IPTV; • FTTH; • WiMAX; • ASON,etc They make the standards research work of CCSA in front of communication technologies all the time, so as to establish foundation for standards development in the future, and to provide reference or guide for standardization activities. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

10. CCSA Technical Standards Awards • In order to commend the groups or individuals who have made great contributions to technical innovation, social benefits and economic benefits through standardization in the field of communication, “CCSA Science and Technology Award” was founded with the approval of MII and Ministry and Science and Technology, to encourage the technology developer. • This is the first time for CCSA to carry out such science and technology awarding activity in the field of communication standards throughout China. Through strictly examining and commenting by experts, 14 projects were awarded, which cover WDM, IP phone, softswiching, network management, DSL, CDMA 1X technical standards etc. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

11. Operation Mechanism Innovation （1/2） In 2005, 2 Ad hoc Groups and 1 Special Task Group were established. • Home Network Ad hoc Group • Technical standards framework on Home Network has been determined in this Group. • 2 standards have been developed : -- General technical requirements for home network based telecommunication network -- Technical requirements of equipment for home network based telecommunication network—Home Gateway GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

12. Operation Mechanism Innovation（2/2） • IPTV Special Task Group CCSA established IPTV Special Task Group under IP and Multimedia Technical Committee to carry out studies on IPTV standards including technical standards framework and the following 6 standards: --The Service Requirement for IPTV --General Technical Requirements for IPTV Service System -- Technical Requirement of IPTV-STB(Set Top Box) --Interface Specification for STB and IPTV Service Platform --Technical Requirement for IPTV COP&SOP Interface (COP=Content Operation Platform; SOP=Services Operation Platform) --Technical Requirement of DSLAM for IPTV GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

13. International Contributions • In 2005, more than 1000 experts from CCSA’s members participated in the activities of ITU, 3GPP, 3GPP2, TMF, OMA, IEEE, IETF and other international organizations. Now, we have 26 experts taking positions in these organizations. • 361 contributions discussed in CCSA were submitted to ITU; • 1201 submitted to 3GPP; • 154 submitted to 3GPP2; • After several years’ effort, the number and the technical depth and quality of the contributions increase year by year. Moreover, the acceptance rate also increased continuously. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

15. Internal and External Relationship CCSA attach importance to the exchange and cooperation with both domestic and foreign standards organizations. • Last August, CCSA joined GSC as a tenth partner. • The Chairman of the Council, Mr.Gaofeng Zhu met information and communication ministers from ASEAN during the “China-ASEAN Telecom Week”. • Last December, delegation of CCSA visited ANSI、NIST、ITA、IEEE、TIA、ATIS, and also Nortel, Lucent, Motorola, UT Starcom,Cisco, CINGULAR etc., which promoted mutual understanding and communication. • The exchange and cooperation among CJK SDOs have made further progress. • CCSA has hosted or supported several meetings of ITU-T FGNGN, 3GPP and 3GPP2 in China, which contributed to international standards activities. • In order to promote the exchange and cooperation between the Mainland and Taiwan, CCSA has hosted “Mainland-Taiwan Information Technology and Standards Forum” in July last year.

17. Publications • “Communication Technology and Standards” was semimonthly published; • “Information Briefing” was monthly published, which promptly reported the updated activities of CCSA and its Committees,. • Furthermore, several Study Reports were issued in 2005, such as “Study on RFID Technology”, “Study on Telecommunication Service Standardization”, “General Study on Home Network” and so on. • “Standards List 2005”, “Brief Introduction to Standards 2005” • Annual Report 2005 were published. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

18. Work Plan for 2006 • To further develop and consummate 3G series standards; • To carry out studies on NGN standards, especially on new services and mergence of services and networks; • To develop standards on mobile TV and IPTV; • Emergence communication; • To put emphasis on the study and development of information barrier-free standards to meet the weak and disabled persons’ requirements. GSC: Standardization Advancing Global Communications

19. Guideline and Principle for Standards Development • According to the need of the industry development and the market trend, CCSA carries out standardization activities based on the proposals of its members. • CCSA would change the standards development method from simply adopting international standards to develop China’s own standards according to the actual situation of China. • CCSA would continue to extensively establish friendly cooperation with other standards organizations to make joint contributions to the world standardization industry.
