Why standardize? (1)
Industry perspective
• Load sharing
• Input market requirements into standardization process
• Influence evolution of technologies/standards
• Co-operation prior to competition
• Weight on international negotiation (standards)
• Network with partners, competitors > Early market watch
• Parallel product/service development > reduced lead times
• Facilitate access to new markets

• Global networking/interworking
• Cost saving/economies of scale/time to market
• Reduction of solutions to a minimum,
preferably to one!
• Reduces risks of TBTs
• Critical mass around a technology>market volumes
