STANDARDS AND INTEROPERABILITY IN ICT ETP’s

ETSI, 23-24 October 2006 - Sophia Antipolis - France

ICT R&D and standards:

From experience to prospects

From a policy perspective Support Internal Market and deployment of pan EU systems/services; Open standards facilitate competition and consumer protection; Promote global solutions, and support emergence of EU positions on global issues;

From a research perspective a powerful consensus making instrument; an instrument to catalyse exploitation of research results; an efficient co-operation platform with other regions of the world; A natural link to research for those issue that are system oriented

From the inception of the Framework Programme in the 80’s, ICT R&D has been systematically encouraged to generate standardisation spinn offs, especially in the telecom, broadcasting, and audio visual domains,

mainly through ETSI, DVB and MPEG groups.

The Importance of Standardisation

OFDM on copper pair, ADSL, then VDSL: RACE, ACTS ADSL deployment success worldwide, EU companies at the forefront;

BRAN, HiperLan, HiperMAN: RACE, ACTS WiFi and WiMax deployments/prospects;

Fiber to the Cabinet/curb/…/Home: from RACE to IST FP6 prospects for FTTH are now becoming real, European deployment initiatives and clarification of regulatory regime

3G/UMTS: RACE, ACTS EU success at standardisation level; Y2005: significant take off of UMTS world-wide, exceeding EV-DO. Strong position of EU industry leveraging the “GSM expertise”

B3G/4G: ACTS, IST FP5, IST FP6 issue still developing, EU FP actions support partnership with Asia (CJK, mITF, FuTURE, NGMC)

Broadband Satellite: ACTS, IST FP5, IST FP6 High expectations, high investments, still niche markets. Availability of DVB-RCS and DVB S2 standard

DTV-HDTV: from RACE to IST FP5 world-wide success of DVB standard; promising prospects for EU led technology like MPEG4 for HDTV; MHP gaining momentum. Strong EU industrial leaders.

Mobile TV, DVB-H: from ACTS to IST FP6 promising technology developed in the EU, need to progress on the regulatory/spectrum front. PLC: IST FP6 consolidated EU expertise, even if PLC at the access level may be less prominent

UWB: IST FP5, FP6 better positioning of EU industry and regulatory regime being clarified

EU R&D: Broadband Technologies

Competition bearing fruits. 15% (of EU population) penetration. Incumbents: less than 50% of the access share. Costs of LLU and shared access have dropped by more than 30% between 2002 and 2005. Access rates in the DSL range, FTTx plans. Uneven situation across MS.

Reducing churn, Capex, Opex and opening new “Networked” business opportunities

From Single technologies as business, social and growth enablers to integrated complex systems as enablers;

Converged systems and offers have become integral part of the evolution strategies put forward by ICT players and are getting increased recognition from the markets;

Convergence has been recognised as an important trend and policy enabler under the i2010 ICT Policy Framework proposed by the EC. It cuts across the 3 pillars (Information space, Innovation, Inclusion);

In other regions of the world, this trend has also been recognised as a driver for R&D policies (839 initiative of Korea, u_Japan…)

- Cross cutting issues become more systematic;

- Impact on the siloed networks, and on the siloed standards

Context for Future Research

Proliferation of connected devices, from passive RFID to active sensors;

Edge networking, context awareness, event filtering, event management through distributed middleware;

Service architectures, from syntactic description and static programmed services to semantic modelling and dynamic service discovery;

Networked distributed computing platforms, Grid computing

Content explosion, long tail, Web 2.0. From content search protection and delivery to (user ctrld) content management;

Trust in the Net

Wireless, from “last mile” to last meter: multiplicity of topologies, ad-hoc, meshed..Cognitive radio, spectrum.

Different innovation cycles – and of market entry barriers - may imply different approaches to standardisation, from ex ante to ex post.

Convergence and diversity of players brings about different approaches to standard related issues :

Classical FRAND IPR model, with patent royalties considered as the fair remuneration of research. Model getting increasingly complex, due to emergence of myriad of players and possible “instability”;

Emergence of new models, e.g OSS model or royalty free models; consumer interests (open standards), vs Differentiations (close

business models?); Time to market and economic efficiency (standards e.g. “de facto”,

not necessarily open) Importance of Software, from system standard to interface

standardIs the classical model of collaborative R&D feeding industrial consensus

and standards still appropriate? How can converged platforms with varying srd models be sustainable? How to best couple R&D with

standardisation? Can the Platforms help?

Implications and Challenges

- From a mainly Internal market driven perspective (EU wide harmonisation) à la GSM with single std approach

- Towards a market driven pro competitive environment where several standards may co-exist.

- Whist there is a tendency to oppose these approaches, they are not necessarily exclusive:

….It is often asked whether, on balance, standardization acts more to constrain innovation or to enable innovation. From our perspective these two activities are inextricably linked. Standardization does constrain activities but in doing so creates an infrastructure for subsequent innovation. Well-designed standards should be able to reduce undesirable outcomes. Moreover, standardization is not just about producing norms for given technologies in given markets. Standardization helps to credibility, focus and critical mass in markets for new technologies….(Manchester Business School, report for DTI).

- Deployment of pan EU widely adopted standards remains an option, e.g. mobile TV on-going debate;

- In this case, a co-ordinated approach of industry towards the regulator is key (see creation of EMBC).

Role for Platforms?

The Changing environment

IST FP6: a significant effort has been devoted to co-operation with third countries;

In standard related areas, Asia and South America have received particular attention (e.g IST call 6);

Several approaches to standards co-operation: ex ante (std not yet existing), ex post (existing standard);

Varying levels of results and experiences;

A solid approach to International co-operation and standards is required for IST FP7.

ETP contribution in this field would be very desirable.

Strong interactions between ICT R&D and standards has proved to be an efficient way to valorise research results;

Changing environment through convergence and complexity: different approaches to stds will co-exist;

Very competitive environment and sector getting mature, implies that pan EU deployment of standardised systems and technologies should be approached on a case by case basis

In this context, strong industrial consensus and orientations towards regulators are key;

With partnership in the order of 200-400 Members, European Technology Platforms are well placed to initiate the discussion on standards already at R&D level

And its R&D Implications

Recommendations of the ICT Task Force: “Industry recommends that any policy effort relating to technical interoperability

should encourage broad stakeholder cooperation and voluntary market-oriented solutions to achieve the goal of interoperability rather than legislate the specific means to achieve it. In support of industry-led efforts, the EU and the Member States should maintain a policy priority for interoperability along other key objectives such as innovation and security, support industry-led standardisation and promote the widespread adoption of standards in products and service implementations. Policy measures should allow for temporal and business considerations in a competitive marketplace and may include, as appropriate, active dialogue with industry on challenges in formation of value networks and other potential barriers to implementation of interoperability as well as maintaining an agenda of priority identification, target-setting and monitored progress of interoperability in respect of an evolving priority list of functional digital enablers of ICT innovation and uptake.”
