You are benefitting from ITU standards everyday
(although you may not be aware of it)
Importance of Global Standards
 Global Standards essential in a complex world
 Standards make things easier
 Essential for international communications and



global trade
Drive competitiveness, for individual businesses
and world economy
Help organizations with their efficiency,
effectiveness, responsiveness and innovation
Lower prices and increase availability by

Standards proven economic tool
 WTO trade report 2005
 British Standards Institute (BSI): standards

make annual contribution GBP 2.5 billion
German standards body (DIN): economic
benefits standardization about 1% GDP
Canada: 17 % of labour productivity increase
and nine per cent of growth of GDP 1981-2004
Standards have a significant effect on limiting
the undesirable outcomes of market failure
The work of ITU has smoothed the more
economical introduction of new technologies

IoT Global Standards Initiative
• IoT: not a single technology, but a wide-
ranging concept
• Huge variety of applications in specific
sectors, in addition to cross-sector
applications
• Regional differences, e.g., in the use of
frequency bands for RFID
• Only global standards can enable the use
of interoperable technologies across
different suppliers, industries and
countries

Break into new markets
 Simultaneous acceptance of ITU-T standards by
192 member countries avoids going through
cumbersome licensing procedures in multiple
different markets
 Approval of your technology as an ITU-T standard
means a guarantee of faster market entry and
deployment
 Know in advance which other technologies are
compatible and interoperable with your products
and services

Enjoy fast standards-making
 Fastest approval process in ICT standards world
 Open standards developed by industry members
and respecting clear intellectual property policies
 Global standards agreed through consensus
 Coordination and complementary working with
other standards development to achieve objective
of interoperable, non-discriminatory, international
standards
