Committed to connecting the world
Recommendations become mandatory ifadopted in law Private standards may confuse users and
consumers
ITUs broad range of stakeholders, and robustprocesses provide the basis for consensusacross sectors and countries
Market-driven international standards, based
on objective information and knowledge. Meet the needs and concerns of all relevantstakeholders

Strategic Objectives
1. Develop and publish timely global standards
2. Identify relevant areas for future standardization
projects3. Provide the most attractive forum for
standardization in the interest of the membership
4. Promote value of ITU-T to attract increasedmembership
5. Disseminate information and know-how
6. Cooperate and collaborate with other SDOs

ITU-T Key Features
Open, transparent, consensus based, fastworking, public/private partnership
Technical standards developed by industry
members, when consensus placed onwebsite and if no comments after 4 weeks isin effect approved by 191 governments
ITU standards are therefore truly global,open standards, unlike those of many other
standards bodies, fora or consortium thatclaim to produce global and open standards,available free of charge
Publicly available database of products andservices meeting ITU standards
Organizing interoperability events to proveinteroperability of different vendorsequipment
Common IPR policy with ISO and IEC(FRAN)

Importance of Global Standards
Global Standards essential in a complex world
Standards make things easier
Essential for international communications andglobal trade
Drive competitiveness, for individual businessesand world economy
Help organisations with their efficiency,effectiveness, responsiveness and innovation
Lower prices and increase availability by
reducing technical barriers and promotingcompatibility between systems and networks Manufacturers, network operators and
consumers benefit
