Abstract:
International telecommunication standards and their effects on the U.S. telecommunication industry were considered at a 2-day workshop entitled “International Standards -- Issues and Implications for the ’80’s.” This report summarizes the 30 papers presented at the conference. The speakers addressed the importance of standards, the international organizations responsible for their development (including U.S. participation in that process), and the standards building process itself.
The report highlights two major efforts in international standards -- the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) and the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model. The status of other standards work, including videotex and Signalling System No. 7, is also reviewed.
