11. GISFI & INDIA GISFI has already established collaboration process with TEC’s National Working Groups (NWG) to make national Indian contribution to ITU GISFI to make same contributions to other standardisation forum such as 3GPP, GSC and M2M (GSC = Global Standards Collaboration) GISFI and CDOT to work together to ensure CDOT products (and Indian IPRs) are part of global standards GISFI has contributed in Green Telecom, Cloud Computing and IMT-Advanced initiative of TRAI 11 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

12. Standardisation, Higher Research and Education Standards are part of every entrepreneurial strategy for business growth in a modern digital economy To ensure that technology developments are fully beneficial for industry, governments and consumers alike, they need to be interoperable. Therefore, research innovation and standardization must go hand in hand. 12 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

13. Economic Benefits of Standards 13 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

14. Dr. Hamadoun I. Toure Secretary General International Telecommunication Union Standards are a proven tool for economic development The standards topologies, protocols and interfaces developed by ITU engender a smoothly functioning global ICT network - one that commerce powers, politics, democracy, health, education, entertainment, literacy and financial markets 14 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

15. Economic Benefits of Standards OverviewOver the last decade, several studies have been conducted with the aim of determining the economic and other benefits of the use of standards. These studies have been undertaken by ISO member bodies and other organisations and had mainly macroeconomic focus. Economic benefits are not necessarily the key drivers behind Standards development. However, the resources devoted to the production of Standards and the ways in which Standards change peoples‟ behaviour, inevitably has an economic effect. Similarly, many Standards are not designed with a specific economic outcome in mind, but to increase safety or manage risk. To the extent that accidents or risks lead to economic costs then their prevention through the use of Standards has an economic effect (The Centre for International Economics, 2006) 15 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

16. Economic Benefits of Standards contd. Standards are a prime means of diffusing innovation through the whole economy, ensuring that the bulk of firms do not lag too far behind the early adopters of new ideas. Standards have an impact on every area of economic life, supporting safety regulations, assuring quality of produce and facilitating compatibility of products. New standards can emerge through a competitive market process, as occurred with the adoption of VHS videocassette format over its rival, Betamax, or by accepted use, as in the QWERTY format for English-language keyboards 16 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

17. We all believe that standards provide significant benefits to different stakeholders Companies Consumers Public Authorities 17 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

18. Standards can be presumed to have value: But how much? Can it be measured? Value of standards 18 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

19. Importance of Standards and Standardization • Create : a) Stronger technological ICT base b) Adverse International Environment • Builds: a) An Enabling ICT Eco-System b) Interdependent and synergistic ICT policies • ICT standards are vital for efficient manufacturing: a) Contribute to better regulation b) Enable multi-market access c) Create active markets d) Encourage innovation e) Improve communication 19 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

20. Importance of Standards The Challenge: How to ensure an effective and efficient use of standardization to promote innovation? Competitiveness and business ICT STANDARDS Standards are a tool for coordinating the preferences and demand of the various economic and innovation actors 20 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

21. Attributes of Standards 21 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

22. Changing Landscape for Standards Development • Demands of global markets are rapidly evolving • To address ever shortening time-to-market needs of Industry: • Cooperation & coordination with the global community • Efficient collaboration across geographies • Variety of collaboration choices required, including options beyond the standards process 22 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

23. Need for Indian Standards Indian standards as a globally powerful technology transfer channel Drive innovation and competitiveness for India by adapting global ICT standardization policy to Regional market and Industrial policy developments and vice versa Significant benefits to economy Cope with the dynamics of the rapidly changing global markets Coordinate and cooperate more closely to manage the regional effects of the global financial crisis on the ICT sector Quick response to regional and global technological, economic and social factors Increase coherency, quality and consistency of ICT standards and cope with new challenges in standardization 23 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

24. Standards in Education 24 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

25. Basic Concepts in the Economics of Standardization • Economies of scale • Free rider problem • Information asymmetry • Transaction costs • Network externalities • Switching costs • Excess inertia and lock-in • Bandwagon effect 25 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

26. ISO Methodology • Objectives • Measure the impact of standards on an organization • Provide clear criteria to assess the value of using standards • Provide guidance when developing further studies to assess the benefits of using standards within an industry sector • Step • The Standard for Exchange of Product model data (STEP) is an international standard designed to address interoperability problems encountered in the exchange of digital product information. • Stepis a suite of standards enabling manufacturing companies to exchange digital representations of engineering and manufacturing data. 26 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

27. ISO Methodology Benefits from Step Benefits accrue to end users through increased interoperability of computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing and product data management systems Benefits for Business Strategic benefits of standards are well understood by the individuals involved in standards, i.e., the technical experts who participate in standards development. Companies actively involved in standards work more frequently reap short- and long-term cost-savings and competitive benefits than those that do not participate. 27 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

28. ISO Methodology • Potential Competitive Advantage through Standards • “Having influence in the content of a standard is an important factor in gaining competitive advantage.” • Companies are motivated to participate in standardization because they gain an edge over non-participating companies in terms of insider knowledge. Early access to information is valuable • Cost Reduction through Standardization “Standardization can lead to lower transaction costs in the economy as a whole, as well as to savings for individual businesses.” • Effects of Standards on the Supplier/Client Relationship • “Standards have a positive effect on the buying power of companies.” 28 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

29. Standards and the Formation of Strategic Alliances “It is clear that cooperation between companies in matters of standardization is advantageous since the resulting synergy can help reduce costs and increase profits.” Standards and R&D “Businesses not only reduce the economic risk of their R&D activities by participating in standardization, but can also lower their R&D costs.” ISO Methodology 29 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org

30. Conclusion Mr. Malcolm Johnson Director Telecommunication Standardisation Bureau International Telecommunication Union Standardisation is a key building block in constructing a globally connected society. Standards play a strategic role in fostering innovation and competitive markets 30 Global ICT Standardisation forum for India www.gisfi.org
