Presentation Transcript

  1. Combating Counterfeit and Substandard ICT Devices (Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 November 2014) ITU-T Study Group 11 activities to combat counterfeit ICT equipment Isaac BOATENG (SG11 vice-chair and Q8/11 Rapporteur) & Keith MAINWARING (editor of TR-Counterfeiting)

  2. Outline • Question 8 of Study Group 11 (Q8/11) • Achievements • Current participating Countries/Entities • Revised text for Q8/11 • Work in progress • What next? • Technical Report on Counterfeit and Substandard ICT Equipment • Overview

  3. Combating Counterfeit and Substandard ICT Devices (Geneva, Switzerland, 17-18 November 2014) Question 8 of Study Group 11 (Q8/11) Isaac Boateng National Communications Authority, Ghana, Vice-Chair, ITU-T SG11 & Rapporteur Q8/11

  4. Q8/11 achievements • Contributions and participations in Q8 meetings continue to increase and Q8/11 now attracts one of the largest participations and contributions in SG11 meetings • Q8 July 2014 meeting was attended for the first time by WTO, WCO, WIPO, MMF to discuss a global challenge on Counterfeiting • SG11 consented ​Supplement 64 to ITU-T Q series Recommendations (Y.phys-arch) “Physical Realization of Next Generation Networks” in July 2014 • SG11 agreed to revise the Terms of Reference of Q8/11 to include addressing Counterfeiting issues (07-2014)

  5. Current participating Countries/Entities

  6. Q8/11 Revised Text (1/4) REVISED TITLE: Guidelines for Implementations of Signalling and Protocols and for Addressing Counterfeit ICT devices

  7. Revised Motivation (2/4) • Protocols in packet-based networks are evolving. • Ongoing studies and results achieved by various international standardization bodies have led to the emergence of different solutions to address convergence and interoperability. • The ITU Member States, particularly those in developing countries have expressed the needs for assistance in understanding network and service deployment strategies and scenarios. • Several forums and conferences have also called for ITU assistance in addressing the growing problem of counterfeit telcommunication/ICT products and devices, which is adversely affecting all stakeholders in the ICT field (vendors, governments, operators and consumers). • Cooperation among ITU-T study groups, between ITU-T and ITU-D as well as with external bodies outside the ITU (in particular with SDOs), will be required to gather complete information in this regard.

  8. Revised Study Items (3/4) Study items to be considered include, but are not limited to: • What activity is needed in the ITU‑T Sector to prepare common guidelines by the ITU‑T and ITU‑D Sectors, containing different aspects related to technical matters, in particular to address Counterfeit ICT devices? • What should be taken into account to assure adequate security in the deployment of packet-based networks? • What functional architecture and entities are required to support services and/or applications of public interest such as emergency call handling, lawful interception, number portability, etc.?

  9. Revised Tasks (4/4) • Identify network interconnection scenarios; • Coordinate ITU-T Sector inputs to produce guidelines in cooperation with the ITU-D Sector, that would include any technical aspects as prepared by the relevant study groups: • Develop guidelines to address the problem of counterfeiting of ICT devices; • Identification of protocols consistent with the existing and new service requirements of administrations/operators, for migration from circuit switched networks to packet based networks in the evolution towards NGN/SUN; • Degree of interoperability for services between networks employing different protocols; • Generic guidelines covering aspects of network testing and monitoring; • Prepare the technical guidelines on the signalling requirements and protocol aspects of packet-based networks to support PSTN/ISDN services and their evolution to NGN/SUN.

  10. Work in progress in Q8/11 Keith will present the details of the draft TR-Counterfeiting

  11. What next? • 19-21 November 2014 • Progress and improve draft TR Counterfeit • Plan to approve the Technical Report on Counterfeit • 22-29 April 2015 • Expecting contributions to begin new work item(s) and eventually develop Recommendations
