Government/Industry Interactions in the Global Standards System

Published

Author(s)

Roger Marks, Robert E. Hebner

Abstract

We review the evolution of the global standards system and its relationship to industry. We then discuss some of the approaches that governments have taken in order to modify the system for the benefit of domestic and worldwide economic development. We use as an example an effort of the U. S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to encourage voluntary consensus standards for interoperable broadband wireless access systems.
