GISFI’s Chosen Incremental Standardisation Model


• 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


GISFI & INDIA

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

Economic Benefits of Standards


Industrial collaboration

Joint ICT solutions for industrial compatibility and IPRs

Access to global markets


Benefits of GISFI Standards

• 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.

Standardisation, Higher Research and Education


Overview Over 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)

Economic Benefits of Standards


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

Economic Benefits of Standards contd.



We all believe that standards provide significant benefits to different stakeholders

Companies

Consumers

Public Authorities

Standards can be presumed to have value:

But how much?

Can it be measured?


Value of standards

• Create :a) Stronger technological ICT baseb) 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 accessc) Create active markets d) Encourage innovatione) Improve communication

Importance of Standards and Standardization


Public interests

ICT STANDARDS

The Challenge: How to ensure an effective and efficient use of standardization to promote innovation?

Standards are a tool for coordinating the preferences and demand of the various economic and innovation actors

Importance of Standards

Competitiveness and business


• Ongoing support and maintenance of published standards, including swift adaptation to new developments which prove their necessity, efficiency and interoperability, is guaranteed over a long period.

• Resulting standards are publicly available for implementation and use at reasonable terms (including for a reasonable fee or free of charge).

Maintenance and Availability

• IP essential to the implementation of standards is licensed to applicants on a (fair) reasonable and non-discriminatory basis

• Standards need to respond to market needs and regulatory requirements

IPR

• Performance oriented rather than based on design or descriptive characteristics.

• Should not distort the global markets; should maintain a capacity to build competition and innovation upon them and should be based on advanced scientific and technological developments

Relevance, Stability and Neutrality

Attributes of Standards


• Demands of global markets are rapidly evolving

• To address ever shortening time-to-market needs of Industry:

V Cooperation & coordination with the global community

V Efficient collaboration across geographies

V Variety of collaboration choices required, including options beyond the standards process

Changing Landscape for Standards Development


Drive innovation and competitiveness for India by adapting global ICT

standardization policy to Regional market and Industrial policy developments and

vice versa

Coordinate and cooperate more closely to manage the regional effects of the

global financial crisis on the ICT sector

Increase coherency, quality and consistency of ICT standards and cope with new challenges in standardization

Significant benefits

to economyIndian standards as

a globallypowerful

technology transfer channel

Cope with the dynamics of the rapidly changing global markets

Quick response to regional and

global technological, economic and social factors


Need for Indian Standards


National Telecom Policy 2012National Telecom Policy 2012 : As implemented by Govt. of IndiaProvides for :

Creation of TSDO TSDO to include Govt., Industry, R&D centre, service provider and

academia to meet national requirement like security needs. Help boost entrepreneurship Further help to create a major global manufacturing hub to achieve self

sufficiency Would prepare for National contributions for incorporation of Indian

IPR’s/standards in Global Standards

It recognizes the role of standards in furthering the national development agenda while enhancing equity and inclusiveness

Technology innovation through education

and multidisciplinary activities

Innovative Research

Standardisation

Dynamic networked businesses and value

chains

Education with new

technologies


Standards in Education

Economies of scale Free rider problem Information asymmetry Transaction costs Network externalities Switching costs Excess inertia and lock-in Bandwagon effect

Basic Concepts in the Economics of Standardization



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.

Step is a suite of standards enabling manufacturing companies to exchange digital representations of engineering and manufacturing data.

ISO Methodology

Benefits from StepBenefits accrue to end users through increased interoperability of computer-aided design, engineering, and manufacturing and product data management systems

Benefits for BusinessStrategic 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.


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.”


ISO Methodology

• 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

Conclusion

Standardisation is a key building block in constructing a globally connected society.

Standards play a strategic role in fostering innovation and competitive markets
