  3. ITU Web Front Page Latest News, 13 May 2011 Internet, such a high priority for LDCs ? for people facing lack of safe drinking water, rising food prices, and a chronic shortage of healthcare? Dr Touré (ITU Sec. Gen.): ‘YES’ to effectively deliver vital services, such as healthcare and education in countries where people are chronically deprived of these services. ITU commitment (May, ‘11) to the UN Istanbul Programme of Action for LDCs 2011-2020 high Priority Phone: 25 lines per 100 inhabitant Internet: 15 per 100 inhabitants AP region has 20% of entire Developing Countries and 30% of Least Developing Countries.

  4. PP. 10. rev. Res. 71 Strategic plan for the Union for 2012-2015 Objective 2 – Producing global standards - consistent with member needs, such as narrowing the digital divide, improving health and safety and protecting the environment, and developing standards to facilitate access to telecoms/ICTs by persons with disabilities - meeting global user needs that rely not only on state-of-the-art technologies but also on matured proven technologies - Achieving interoperability of services/equipment All ITU-T SGs are requested to report to the next TSAG with a plan of actions

  5. An Example along with objective 2 Setting up a low cost sustainable telecom. infrastructure for rural communications in developing countries(Q22/SG5) Q.22 originally proposed by India Endorsed at Feb. 2011 TSAG Challenges include ; -Ultimate Cost reduction needed -Shortage of electric Power -Difficult terrain with Difficult access/transportation -Lack of skilled manpower for maintenance of networks . -scattered small population Requirements for Low cost, Sustainable systems Mobile network systems Trunk lines between regions to be developed under Q22 Needs to Work with ITU-T SG15WP2 ; Opt. access/transport NW Infrastructure ITU-D Q10-3/2 ; Telecom/ICT for rural and remote areas ITU-R SG5 ;Terrestrial services

  6. Examples of ITU-T activities including socio-public needs (2012-2015) Examples : Q22/05 Setting up a low cost sustainable telecom. infra. for rural communications in d-ing countries Q13/11 Coordination of work on Emergency Communications within an NGN environment Q18/12 Conferencing and telemeeting assessment Q26/16 Accessibility to multimedia systems/services Q28/16 Multimedia framework for e-health application

  7. ITU-T and TSAG Activities Updates AP-regional aspects ITU-T Environment TSAG discussions up-dates Summary

  8. TSB Directors Remarks Feb. 2011 TSAG • Some key issues identified • ITU-T Strategic Goals(& Objectives) PP. Res. 171 • Conformance & interoperability (PP. Res. 177 ) • (3) Internet-related Issues (PP. Res. 101, 102, 178 ) • (4) ICT accessibility (disabilities/seniors) (PP. Res. 175) • (5) Cyber security threats (PP. rev. Res. 130) • (6) Child online protection (PP. Res. 179)

  9. PP.10 (new)Res. 167 (e-meetings) for Energy-efficiency and time, cost effectiveness • resolves • that ITU should further develop its facilities and capabilities for remote participation by electronic means,,, Feb. 2011 TSAG agreed：Decision-making portions of SG、or TSAG, remote participation must be limited to remote observation. Points of discussion for e-participation in physical meetings(ASTAP18/INP-35 to ITU-T Issues Group) -bringing interpreters -avoiding late at night (local time) -Providing facial (live video) images -allowing the use of working documents -enabling private conversation during the brakes

  10. PP.10 (new)Res. 175 (Accessibility) Telecom/info. and communication technol. accessibility for persons with disabilities, including age-related disabilities Feb. 2011 TSAG considered favourably the proposal to establish a FG under SG 16 FG on Audiovisual Media Accessibility (FG-AVA) established in March 2011 at SG16 report to SG16 making audiovisual media accessible for persons with disabilities WTSA 08 Res. 70 Chair Mr Peter Olaf Looms (European Broadcasting Union and Denmark) JCA-AHF(Accessibility and human factors)will continue increasing awareness, providing advice on the accessibility of ITU facilities and services (reporting to SG2), particularly for Q 4/2 Human factors related issues for improve’t of the QoL through international telecommunications Q 26/16 Accessibility to Multimedia Systems and Services AHF Chair Ms. Andrea Sacks (USA))

  11. PP.10 (new)Res. 177 Conformance and interoperability Invites Sector Members to -Populate the pilot conformity database -Participate in ITU interoperability events; -Contribute to building test capacity in D-ping Counts. e.g., as part of supply contract of services/systems Instructs TSB Director to -Improve standards-setting processes for interop`bility -Prepare a business plan for implementing Res.177. Concerns on the TSB’S plan; TSB needs to -have more details; lot of data missing -consult with stakeholders under appropriate consulting scheme -list real problems D-ing counts. is facing Further TSAG Discussions needed

  12. Internet-related resolutions PP.10 Res. (rev.)101, (rev.)102, (new)178 PP.10 Res.(new)178 ITU role in organizing the work on technical aspects of teleco networks to support the Internet considering a) bridging the digital divide demands decisive cooperation and involvement of the entire world Invites WTSA 2012 to “adjust” the ITU-T structure for improving the technical work for supporting the Internet, by establishing a SG or other appropriate group, based on the inputs from TSB (and TSAG) TSAG Correspondence Group on PP. 178 created

  13. Internet of Things Any THING connected to the Internet at any TIME, from any PLACE ITU-T News log Connecting any kind of object to the Internet may be one of the biggest standardization challenges yet. • JCA-IoT (Internet of Things: • ex. JCA-NID) • - “IoT” includes NID of things(e.g., tag based), and • USN(ubiquitous sensor network) • - USN includes networking and service • aspects of sensor information • . • GSI-IoT (Global Standards Initiative) • - The visible single location for information • - Develop the definition of IoT • - SGs 2, 3, 11, 13, 16, 17 join and report to TSAG. • 1st mtg. 9-13 May, 2011 • 34 participants (Korea12, China 5, US 3, Jp 2,,,,) Name change endorsed “IoT” is world-wide than “NID”
