The ITU has signed an agreement with key Asian standardsdevelopers that will mean new technologies come to market quicker and at lower costs.
ARIB, CCSA, TTA and TTC have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ITU recognizing ITU as the pre-eminent global ICT standards body. The agreement seeks to smooth the way for regional standards, developed in these four key regional bodies, to be internationally recognized.
The MoU will build on the good relationship ITU has built with all four bodies over many years, increase transparency between the organizations, avoid duplication of work and increase efficiency in the publication of standards. All of which means that product manufacturers will be able to more efficiently incorporate globally standardized solutions in their products, leading to greater economies of scale and lower costs to consumers.
