Who is TTA?
Experiences of ITU and TTA for BSG
Observations?
People : Fundamental Elements
4Ps – Essential components for Govern. policy
& SDO strategies
A basic formula
Standardization
= Technology + People
Making people meet together
is the key
Main ICT Standardization Challenges
Lack of institutional and legal framework to
coordinate standardization activities at national
level
Lack of experts on ICT standards
Low level of participation from industry and
private sector
Funding not readily available
Coordination issues among stakeholders
Understanding how emerging ICT standards will
impact the future of the industry is lacking
Implementation issue in absence of proper
standardization setup
Yangon, Myanmar, 28-29 November 2013
22
Insufficiency
Most of A-P countries insufficient with:
Government Policy;
Government R&D budget;
Personnel in government and/or SDOs;
Standardization expert; and
Industry participation, etc.
in short, low level of recognition of its importance
Mandatory vs. Voluntary Standards
No need for voluntary standard
or no distinction
Mandatory standards (Technical Regulation)
regulate the market
Need to consider the agreement
of WTO/TBT and the era of
liberalization of telecom. market
: Technology Neutrality
& Deregulation
Training Program
Recognizing needs for training programs on:
Adopting international standards into national standards
Which elements need to keep vs. which elements need to be modified
Relationship between technical regulation and standards
Any other considerations
Participating international standard meetings;
General introduction of ITU, APT, ETSI, IEEE, etc.
Their working methods
Way to acquire information at SDOs’ websites
Way to draft and present contribution
Way to convene a meeting, etc.
