GMM AFG - the background Main work on Companion Document started July 1998 • 17 Companies involved: Alcatel, BT, Bosch, CSELT, Deutsche Telecom, EDF, Ericsson, EDF, FEEI, Italtel, Lucent, Marconi Communications, NETAS, Nokia, Portugal Telecom, Siemens, Telia GMMAFG Report
GMM AFG - the results • “Repository” document • Bibliography (well over 100 references) • “Final” Draft Companion Document • This presentation (Companion Document) GMMAFG Report
Select Bibliography 74 references, addressing: • Regulation (EC/CEPT/etc) 12 • RTD (ACTS, RACE, etc) 14 • FMC 3 • Internet/IP (IETF, etc) 4 • UMTS 16 • ITU/ETSI 18 • Other 7 GMMAFG Report
Introduction • We looked at business / change drivers, and not standards per se • How does the “external” environment impact standards making? • Global solutions versus regional / national • What is the telecommunications market ? • US$ 300 billion per year • 4% GDP • 15% growth rate • Total standardization effort ~0.5% market value (US$ 6 billion per year) GMMAFG Report
Corporate Cultural Change Drivers • Mega mergers (consolidation): - DB / Bankers Trust DaimlerChrysler BP / Amoco - Vodafone / AirTouch Astra / Zeneca Stora / Enso • (1999 M&A activity in Europe estimated at US$1260 billion!) • Leveraging of IPR, digital technologies and Internet • (e-commerce in USA alone = US$300 billion in 2003) • Manufacturing over-capacity and restructuring! • Deregulation, globalization and market convergence • Short - term fiscal reporting à la Wall Street GMMAFG Report
Telecommunications business environment • Increased competition/consolidation • classical telecommunications players • new players (energy, railways, …) • Return on investment • 20 years 7 years backbone network • 3 years access network • 0 years terminals (now a consumer product)1 • New User expectations • users looking for services & ease of use, rather than technology Regulatory environment • liberalisation • price cap2 • competition between standards3 Fundamental global structural changes towards short-term shareholder Return-On-Investments. Where does ETSI standardization fit in this? GMMAFG Report
Telecommunications Standardization Needs • Economic benefits(branding, lower production and transaction costs, ...) • Trade & Treaty obligations(European Single Market, WTO, TBD) • Societal needs(protecting consumers, disabled, health, safety, environment, ...) • Quality management(process, conformance, marking / labelling, certification, ...) Standardization provides economic and societal benefits. Is ETSI leading or following? GMMAFG Report
Telecommunications Standardization Areas • Importance of timely access to information • Convergence: • telecom / datacom • fixed / mobile • public / private • Services: • customized to user’s individual needs, reflecting his/her personal and professional requirements • Service management: • increasingly essential • compatibility of tools and processes essential • Strict IPR declaration policy GMMAFG Report
Total subscribers Millions of Subscribers Year 2005: 200 million Year 2010: 260 million 400' 350' 300' Total mobile subscribers 250' 200' 150' Mobile subscribers using only speech and low speed data 100' 50' 0' Source: UMTS Forum 1995 2000 2005 2010 Years EU Subscriber growth GMMAFG Report
Global Subscriber growth • Phenomenal Internet growth • Fixed increasingly for datacom (Internet) services • Mobile for voice but increasingly for Internet services GMMAFG Report
“Internet” - things are changing fast ! • Importance of “being informed” anytime / anywhere • Business use of IP-based Services: • e-commerce in USA alone = US$300 billion in 2003 • secure communications • trading between countries (harmonized standards?) • Internet, Extranet, Intranet • Transport network used for IP-based services • Enron Corp (US) plans to build IP network: 30,000 fibre km • “Project Oxygen” - 168,000 km global (undersea) fibre network • Seamless services regardless of (access) technology • technology choice tactical vs strategic “Do you want a ‘proprietary’ solution that works now, or wait for 5 years (or more) for standardized solution?” GMMAFG Report
Technology Drivers - Digital World • Digital wired and wireless access technology • (incl. Antenna and Satellite) • Digital Data compression • Digital Communication technology • Circuit switched Packet switched Cell switched Optical switched • Digital Opto-electronics • transport networks • FTTx • Digital IT technology • (CPU / memory / software / energy management …) • Digital speech processing Choice of specific technology becomes tactical and strategic GMMAFG Report

Demand for “slow mobility” • Market “explosion” for “slow mobility” • “Slow mobility” applications requiring high bandwidth • Delivery through various technologies and networks (incl. WLL, WLAN, cordless...) • For simple voice, people migrating from fixed to mobile • less interested in fixed lines, except for ISDN or Internet access • Implications: • fixed network will have to provide concept of mobility • all systems will have to offer ease of use GMMAFG Report
The original GMM model Model still valid - but additional perspectives needed... GMMAFG Report

Conclusions • Many new players and consolidation amongst old ones • IP is a key technology driver for both new and old players • Seamless services independent of underlying technologies • No distinction between • mobile / fixed • private / public • business / residential • Modular approach according to business opportunities • API based architecture • Not everything will be standardized...

Q1- Is there a need for Network Architecture and/or end-to-end system standardization groups (N-ISDN, GSM, TETRA,…) ? Q2- How can these end-to-end systems be “opened up” to allow competition based on services rather than tariff? Q3- Do we really need formal standards?(perceived to be too slow and giving away competitive advantage) Questions GMMAFG Report
Strategic thinking • ETSI’s thinking must not be restricted to just standards-writing… • … but to all related activities GMMAFG Report
ETSI’s work should include Standards-writing issues (short term) GMMAFG Report
Non-standards-writing issues ETSI should: • select partners for global standardization à la 3GPP • maintain standardization activity at the minimum necessary1 • facilitate IPR use • (politically sensitive!) • improve ‘Customer Care’ • Marketing, Marketing, Marketing (of standards) • re-think ETSI Technical Organization GMMAFG Report
Future of ETSI GMM activities It is proposed that: 1. • a group be created to examine the technical and organizational implications raised in this study, to report to the GA/Board, and 2. • the GMM AFG now be closed • the analysis of GMM work items (etc.) in GMM CG be completed… … and then handed over to OCG… … GMM CG could then be closed GMMAFG Report
Vision is not enough, it must be combined with venture. Vaclav Havel Thank you ! GMMAFG Report
