4Ps – Essential components for Govern. policy & SDO strategies A basic formula Standardization = Technology + People Making people meet together is the key People : Fundamental Elements

Yangon, Myanmar, November 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

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 Insufficiency

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 Mandatory vs. Voluntary Standards

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. Training Program
