  1. Well Comms in Tuxtla Broadband access for health applications Aworkshop co-organized by ETSI y el Secretaria de Salud de Mexicoin Tuxtla, Chiapas, 18-19 May 2006 ETSI, the @LIS Dialogue on Standards Why we are here today Margot Dor, Business Development & Partnerships, ETSI margot.dor@etsi.org

  2. ETSI: A Standardization Success Story • ETSI since its creation in 1988 has established itself in a relatively short time as a premier multinational SDO • ETSI success is based on the development market-driven open standards that: • enable interoperability • expand markets, bring down costs and enable increased competition • create trust and confidence in products

  3. ETSI, who are we exactly? • ICT Standards organization, private not for profit • Global membership (670+ Members, 80% industry, 20% overseas) • Track record of worldwide industrial hits (fixed, mobile, broadcast)… • …enabled also by a recognized IPR policy (FRAND) • Favors partnerships (regional/technical) • Founding partner and home of the 3GPP (EU/US/China/Japan/Korea) • Broadcast (EBU/CLC) • Interoperability services (test specs, test suites, interop testing-”PlugTests”) • Forum hosting • All deliverables available free of charge http://www.etsi.org http://portal.etsi.org

  4. GTSC GRSC Nobody does it alone International Partnerships ITU-D ITU-T ITU-R JTC1 • CITEL • GSM LA • AHCIET • GSM LA • CCSA • OMA • IEEE • GCF • WIMAX forum • The Parlay Group • IPv6 Forum • NENA • DVB Project • TETRA MoU • (60+ active) Interregional CEN/ CLC Europe EC CEPT

  5. Open Standards • Open meetingsAll stakeholders may participate in the standards development process • ConsensusAll interests are discussed and agreement found • Due ProcessBalloting and appeal process may be used to find resolution • Open IPRIPRholders must identify themselves during the standards development process • Open AccessOpen access to all deliverables • Open WorldSame standard for the same function world-wide • Open InterfacesAllow additional functions, public or proprietary • Open markets Interoperability  users are not locked in with one supplier/service provider

  6. Open standards  open markets • Facilitate a multi-supplier environment • Lay the ground for interoperability in a multi-equipment provider and multi-service provider environment • Enable the development of profitable industrial ecosystems • Open standards > balance power between market players (suppliers/operators-SPs/users)

  7. Open standards and service creation • Facilitate a multi-service provider environment • interchangeable terminal equipment • competitive pricing of services • network agnostic third parties applications • This is highly critical in countries/regions • Where local manufacturing industry does not compete on a global scale (yet) • That are standards adopters (so far) • That have highly educated and competitive workforce is SW (applications and services) development • Where the service industry is highly creative and competitive • Where there is a strong political push to rely on ICT and education to develop.

  8. & the Dialogue on StandardsWhat brought us here together today *Alliance for the Information Society

  9. A bird’s eye view of the @LIS programme e-health digital inclusion e-education 19 demo projects, 75% budget e-gov. Stakeholders’ Network (AHCIET, Menon) Interconnection of Research Networks (Geant/Red Clara) Dialogue on Standardization (ETSI) Network of Regulators (Regulatel) Dialogue on Policy & Regulation (ECLAC)

  10. The Dialogue on Standards • Positioning • Open Standards are key to enable the development of ICT services and applications that help bridge the digital divide • Objectives • Increase bilateral work flow • Increase ETSI visibility and standards adoption in LA • Means • 3,8 million euros (2003-2006) • ETSI contribution “indirect” –i.e. in kind

  11. Broadcast (transport) Accessibility (HF) Interop (PTCC/PT) Radio (incl. spectrum) Fixed Satellite Mobile The starting point: building awareness for ETSI standards, ways (specifics), and services

  12. The learning curve (or « wake up call »)

  13. Latin American countries do produce ICT standards • They are just not called that way • “Interop profiles, Interop frameworks…” • A usage-driven model • Services and applications first  architecture is key,  interoperability ex-post • The public sector is at the forefront • ICT for economic development-software, political agendas • Straight (and fast) to the top • No legacy of standards making in the lower layers… • An interesting issue: IP strategies of “new entrants” on the standards production market

  14. Nobody cares about standards… • It’s all about usage and solutions to make life easier and better • But for Interoperability, transferability, reusability • solutions based onopenstandards  local players in control • Sustainability • It’s about creating ecosystems/clusters with strong implication of local developers & service providers

  15. @METIS: A Dialogue between EU and Latin America“Interoperability profilers” • Objectives • Create a think tank on specifications and interoperability profiles for e-gov applications (both policy and technology) • Enable the development of joint deliverables (strategic and/or technical). • Ways and means • ETSI enabler/bridge • Seed money from the @LIS Dialogue on Standards

  16. Well Comms in TuxtlaBroadband access for health applications • Objectives • Further explore the policy goals of Mexico in relation to e-health issues • Ensure a common understanding of the technology requirements • Present a set of case studies (broadband connectivity and applications) • Increase cooperation between Mexican and European players (both from a policy and technology perspective)

  17. Well Comms in TuxtlaBroadband access for health applications • Topics • Broadband accessibility/connectivity based on the use of satellite technologies (DVB-RCS) • Use of smart cards technologies for health applications (health record, security of personal data, authentication etc). • Human factors (ease of use, ergonomics, accessibility for all, etc) • Legal issues in e-health systems (liability, data privacy, etc) • Applications (e.g. Bibliotecas Medicas Digitales)

  18. Broadcast (transport) Accessibility (HF) Interop (PTCC/PT) Radio (incl. spectrum) Fixed Satellite Mobile Applications and Services Middleware (including Web services) @LIS Dialogue on Standards & Interoperability All IP layer(s)

  19. A question • Technologies do not come into silos… • shouldapplications do? • Infrastructures converge to all IP • Point of gravity of convergence  middleware and services • Applications? • Reinventing the wheel? • Disconnecting issues…but interoperability is across layers

  20. Dialogue (d i-alog)A conversation between two or more persons.For a successful dialogue, the partners must achieve a workable balance of contributions e
