Report
The report aims to provide background information on standards activities in the UK and worldwide, as well as consider aspects where actions could be taken to improve the general influence of the UK and its industrial and academic sector, with particular emphasis on SMEs.
Thus, an initial section presents a discussion of the general importance and value of standards, taking various perspectives into account. This section also signposts the interested reader to informative annexes, including high level information on the major telecoms standards bodies, as well as details of some critical telecommunications areas where standards have had a major impact.
