Abstract:
In this paper,we review the factors influencing the evolution of the
global standards system. We then discuss some of the approaches that
governments have taken or are exploring in order to modify the system
for the benefit of domestic and worldwide economic development. We
use as an example an effort of the U.S. National Institute of
Standards and Technology to encourage voluntary consensus standards
for interoperable broadband wireless access systems.
