Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Compatibility Standards and the Market for Telecommunications Services
Third, the growing internationalization of telecommunications technology and services has resulted in an increased role for international standard-setting bodies. As a result, the autonomy previously possessed by the United States to set standards has been reduced and the needed degree of coordination with suppliers in other countries has increased. According to Pool (1984, p. Until now in the telecommunications field there have generally been two sets of standards, the ccitt standards of the International Telecommunications Union followed in most of the world and the Bell System standards which prevailed in America (about half the world market). In the standards will become more influential in this country, and at&t will have an incentive to reduce its deviations from them. The major effort presently underway at the International Consultative Committee for Telephone and Telegraph (ccitt) to establish standards for Integrated Services Digital Networks (isdn), where the United States in only one of a large number of players, is an important indication of this change.
