Excerpt from Standards Setting for Computer Communication: The Case of X. 25 1. Introduction The first international meeting to set standards for data communications was held in Paris in 1865, to discuss interconnection of telegraph systems. Since that time, an elaborate network of institutions and procedures have grown up which attempt to coordinate the development of standards for telecommunications in general and data communications in particular. The convergence of computers and communications technology in the 1970s, coupled with changes in the political and economic environment of these industries have forced dramatic changes in both the role of standards, and the processes by which standards are developed. In this paper, we shall outline the broad directions of these changes, and illustrate them with a detailed examination of the development of the packet switching standard, X.25. 2. The Nature and Function of Standards Standards are of many types: the IBM Personal Computer Technical Reference defines a de facto standard for personal computers. Bell Communications Research procurement specifications represent another type of standards document. More typically, however, when we think of standards we think of formal documents certified by a self-defined standards making body. Groups engaged in formal standards setting include international agencies, national standards bodies, professional associations, trade associations, government regulatory agencies and cabinet departments and bureaus. Standards may, but usually do not, have the force of law; generally they represent voluntary agreements among producers.

In light of the emerging global information infrastructure, information technology standards are becoming increasingly important. At the same time, however, the standards setting process has been criticized as being slow, inefficient and out of touch with market needs. What can be done to resolve this situation?To provide a basis for an answer to this question, Information Technology Standards and Standardization: A Global Perspective paints as full a picture as possible of the varied and diverse aspects surrounding standards and standardization. This book will serve as a foundation for research, discussion and practice as it addresses trends, problems and solutions for and by numerous disciplines, such as economics, social sciences, management studies, politics, computer science and, particularly, users.
