INTEROPERABILITY
The most complex project ever implemented by mankind is arguably
the phone network.
It couldn’t have been done without interoperable
standards of ITU

Why the Res. 76
Addressing interoperability as a reason for founding ITU
Major concerns were raised at WTSA-08:lack of conformance poor quality counterfeit equipment
Need of developing countries to be assisted in deploying testing facilities and building capacity facilities in the regions
Other standards bodies have already introduced a number of activities to address conformity and interoperability and are far ahead of ITU.

Open Consultation on Conformance Assessment and Interoperability Testing
Geneva, 20-21 July 2009
Arena to express concerns about the lack of conformity and interoperability of products
Consider possible testing ( interoperability) activities to be put in place by ITU
Provide a picture of the existing scenario about the best practices performed by leading organizations worldwide
Potential implementation of the ITU mark programme
Provide elements useful to the implementation of Res. 76

Business Plan a first approachNEED OF TEST SUITES in ITU and / or in other SDOs Forums/Consortia
EVALUATION OF RISK OF ACTING/NOT ACTING ON RES 76 RECOMMENDATIONS:
PROS Ability to test for conformity assessment and interoperability in view as new tools to assist developing countries CONSTo not be able to do the above and risking the leadership positioning in the ICT panorama Interoperability concerns of developing countries remain unaddressed, challenge of remaining cost neutral
ROADMAPDevelop definitive understanding of what exactly characterizes the “interoperability problem”: substandards products, policy vacuum in regulation, fill standards gaps, facilitate test events, criteria, confidentiality, schedule, publication of results test labs choice, legislative issues, specification, calibration, costs and revenues, others

Addressing interoperability is one of the very reasons for founding ITU
Study Groups and Membership engaged in producing Recommendations suitable for
testing
“there is no point in developing test suites if ITU does not give some recognition to
manufactures having their equipment tested to ITU-T Recommendations”
