Go back in time for a moment
1900: 20 000 telephone companies in US • Islands of connectivity
Geographical (national) monopolies for operators
Operator provided the terminals, matched for his network
Preferred (national) equipment provider built network to unique national characteristics
Key characteristic of telephone type approval: impedance matching and switch manufacturer • Impedance depended on average line length in each country
• Average line length depended on geography and urbanisation
No real standardization inside networks

Standards existed
For international interconnection: CCITT / ITU
Building bridges between the islands

It really started in the 1980s
Deregulation, liberalisation, privatisation, open market, competition
1982 in US: AT&T split into Baby Bells: deregulation and competition
Europe: GSM license regime forced competition, new entrants • Multiple operators required per country
1988: ETSI created to provide standards for open European market • Standards for core network equipment market
• Standards for interconnection
• Standards for terminal equipment

Benefits of standards
Lower development & production costs, enable specialisation and commoditisation
Allow access to new markets
Increase competition - good for the customer
Give improved product confidence and Interop
Encourage innovative cooperation
Turn good ideas into commercial success

Growth of telecoms access (fixed & mobile)
(*) Total communication access paths: Analogue lines + ISDN lines + DSL + cable modem + fibre + other + mobile
(**) Fixed communication access paths: Analogue lines + ISDN lines + DSL + cable modem + other + fibre

3G Standardization: Large-scale industrial project
3GPP: Third Generation Partnership Project • Japan, Korea, China, US & Europe
• 6 standards bodies, c. 400 companies
17 working groups, 4 Plenary groups
Meeting 4-8 times/year across the globe, 1 week meetings • some delegates spend >3 months/year sitting in meetings!
Up to 300 delegates, 1 000 documents for EACH meeting
Average 4 000 delegate days per month in meetings
14 delegate centuries since creation of 3GPP in 1998
Approx 2 000 specifications published each year
And still growing...

AND there are ALSO other cases…
Some tested and developed (and huge success stories)
• DECT
• TETRA
• Ethernet
• TCP/IP
• IEEE 802.11x, 16x families
• …
And some more to come…

STANDARDS IN THE CLOUD?

Telecoms networks as social networks?
Hot news from Barcelona

However, what if...
...we didn’t have open standards?
• 1 network – 1 user/network interface specification
• 1 network – 1 preferred terminal vendor
App stores?
Chipset price and miniaturisation?
Handset size and price?
Handset brand competition? • No Sony, no Samsung, no HTC, no iPhone in Europe!
Colour displays?
