Telecommunications standards (wire and wireless) are the underlying "laws" that govern the emerging Global Information Highway and the existing telephone system. Telecommunications networks in every country in the world utilize formal telecommunications standards to physically interwork. Without public agreements and the telecommunications standards that codify such agreements, wide-area voice and data communications would not be possible.
Communications Standards Review (CSR) reports on formal telecommunications standards work-in-progress (US and International) covering multimedia and wire line access technology standards.
It is often difficult to tell whether a standards committee is a formal one. In the US, formal standards committees are accredited by American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The accreditation process is complex but offers some specific values to potential users and implementers of standards:
⦁ Standards work is coordinated to avoid two different standards committees creating different standards for the same functions.
⦁ Standards committees must maintain their standards so long as there is a minimal level of use.
⦁ The standards process is designed to prevent domination by any group and to allow all reasonable technical input to be heard.
⦁ Intellectual Property Rights (IPR, i.e., patent or pending patents) are identified (but not resolved) during the standards creating process.
Today there are some non-accredited standards groups (e.g., ATM Forum and Frame Relay Forum) that develop their work and then introduce it into formal standards groups. This can be a good balance. And very rarely, as in the case of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), informal standards work is so desirable that it becomes acknowledged as formal by force of use. However, the IETF now has ties to formal standards organizations. But the rest of the non-accredited standards groups are often attempting to drape a manufacturer's proprietary approach in finer garb. The proprietary approach may be desirable (e.g., Microsoft MAPI), but it cannot meet the four values of formal standards work outlined above.
At CSR, the term "Telecommunications Standard Body" refers to formal authorized telecommunications standardization bodies.

The telecom value chain, opportunities and revenues created by the nigerian t...IJECEIAES
This document summarizes the opportunities and revenues created by Nigeria's telecom boom. It discusses how deregulation of the telecom sector in 1992 led to rapid growth. The number of mobile phone users increased dramatically, reaching over 35 million by 2007. This created many business opportunities like retail recharge cards and local manufacturing of equipment. It employed over 8,000 Nigerians directly by 2011. The telecom industry contributes significantly to Nigeria's GDP, generating $9.3 billion in revenue in 2012. It is now the second largest revenue source after oil and gas. The growth in telecom infrastructure and services has boosted the Nigerian economy.

Accenture portugal-telecom-it-strategy-transformationCMR WORLD TECH
Portugal Telecom has transformed from a state-owned telecom monopoly into a global provider of converged communications, IT, and cloud services. To adapt to industry changes, Portugal Telecom developed "Telco in a Box", a modular integrated system built on Oracle Communications solutions. Telco in a Box allows Portugal Telecom to rapidly launch new products and services in as little as 2 months. Portugal Telecom is now marketing Telco in a Box to telecom operators in emerging markets to help them meet growing demand for converged services.
1) Information technology has significantly impacted various domains in Nigerian society, particularly banking through electronic payments and banking which has eliminated long queues.
2) Substantial investments between 53-64% of 10 million naira were made by companies between 1995-1997 to acquire and update IT facilities, mostly in hardware and infrastructure.
3) IT adoption has contributed to increased capacity utilization by enabling faster communication and processing of transactions through email and websites between users and suppliers.
#MP2013 Presentation by the Minister of Communication TechnologyFMINigeria
The document provides a mid-term review of priorities and progress for Nigeria's Ministry of Communication Technology. It summarizes efforts to: 1) expand infrastructure like base stations, fiber networks, and satellites to connect more Nigerians, especially in rural areas; 2) increase access to devices and digital skills training to ensure Nigerians can benefit from connectivity; and 3) develop the ICT sector through policies supporting jobs and local content. Key achievements include deploying rural broadband, expanding research networks between universities, and facilitating billions in infrastructure investment. The next steps are to further build out networks and lower access costs to meet national targets.
Broadband internet provides high-speed data transmission and has significant benefits for national economic growth. It allows for fast downloads, live streaming, online lectures, and more. Broadband growth is associated with increases in GDP, job creation, productivity, and improved access to services like healthcare and education. The document argues that investing in broadband infrastructure is key to realizing these economic and social benefits, and that Nigeria in particular needs to improve its ICT ecosystem to better position itself for the opportunities provided by broadband connectivity.
The document provides an overview of the telecommunication sector in India. It discusses the major players in the sector including Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea. It analyzes the industrial scenario by looking at the history, evolution, challenges and opportunities of the sector. Key facts like subscriber numbers, revenue contribution to GDP, and the global perspective are presented. Detailed company profiles of Airtel, Jio, and Vodafone Idea are also included covering aspects like vision, mission, history and SWOT analysis. The document thus serves as a comprehensive report on the telecom industry in India.
This document discusses the need for telecommunications companies (telcos) to transform themselves into technology companies (techcos). It outlines three main drivers for this transformation: improving customer friendliness to meet rising consumer expectations set by internet companies, increasing innovativeness to compete with large global tech firms, and enhancing efficiency to become leaner. The document argues telcos must transform both their front-end digital experiences and back-end operations through automation in order to successfully make this transition and remain competitive. It examines different approaches telcos are taking to achieve IT transformations and the challenges they face.
A flagship CTO event, this has grown into a platform for knowledge-sharing among peer groups steering ICT projects in e-delivery of health care, education and governance. This Forum echoes the Commonwealth's 2013 theme: The Road Ahead for Africa.
Creating Digital Transformation with IoT DeploymentsDerek Laryea
Government working together with IoT companies, Mobile Operators and the public will rapidly quicken digital transformation, creating a significant opportunity for the industry to support Ghana’s government in enhancing digital transformation.
Microsoft Telecommunications Newsletter | May 2021Rick Lievano
In almost every conversation, I’m astounded by the amount of folks who mention the recent disruption that’s occurred in this industry. As the old adage goes: “…the only constant has been change.” Digital disruption has fueled digital transformation, and with the proliferation of companies offering broader arrays of services, enterprises are scrambling to keep up and offer newer and better things.
There’s been major consolidation across Telco and Media, and the fight for audience and revenue is more fierce than ever. As we have seen in these last few weeks, there have been industry changing merger talks between Warner Media and Discovery, Bouygues and M6 Groupe from Bertelsmann, and even Amazon and MGM. While we’re proud and confident in our most recent acquisitions, it’s safe to say that the competition is heating up.
Malaysia’s importance came into existence due to its central location in the ASEAN countries. The international trade has made great jumps in using ICT as a driving factor to reduce cost in global trade. The enhancement of Information and Communication Technology made an impressive transformation of economic environment. Malaysia is considered one of the key points for import and export in the region; thus the government has made large investments in building advanced and high tech infrastructure to meet the increasingly demand for higher speeds and advanced communication facilities.
Telcos prefer GPON over EPON for fiber networks due to technical and historical reasons. GPON was designed for phone networks to support both business and residential services. It also allows RF video signals to be transmitted over fiber. EPON is preferred by cable providers as it provides symmetrical bandwidth, important for cable applications. Ultimately the fiber network technologies are moving to all-IP transmission over point-to-point Ethernet connections.

-Definition and Scope of ICT
ICT is an acronym that stands for Information and
Communication Technology. It is a composite
term, which embodies three important concepts:
information, communication and technology.
ICT can be defined as the various technologies that
enhance the creation, storage, processing,
communication and dissemination of
information. ICTs also refer to the different
infrastructures used in these processes, their
applications and the numerous services these
infrastructures render

-Definition and Scope of ICT
The elements of ICTs include communication media (e.g
radio, television,) information machine (e.g computers)
and telecommunications technologies and equipment
(e.g satellites, fibre optic cables, phones, and facsimile
machines).
• The scope of ICT covers any product that will store,
retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information
electronically in a digital form. For example, personal
computers, digital television, email, robots. So ICT is
concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation,
transmission or receipt of digital data.

-The State of ICT in Nigeria
Mobile cellular services made their first appearance on the
Nigerian market in 1993 with a “national” service
operated by NITEL and a smaller Lagos service operated
by Mobile Telecommunications Services (MTS). The
two firms, with a joint subscriber base of 12 500,
provided voice services over an analogue E-TACS
network, as well as basic value-added services such as
voicemail and paging, from three switches in Lagos,
Enugu, and Abuja. However, in 1995, MTS closed its
operations due to failure to pay interconnection charges
to NITEL. M-Tel subsequently emerged as NITEL’s
mobile service provider.

The GSM licensing process was cancelled
early in 2000 and the process of auctioning
four mobile cellular licenses was reopened
in December of that year, after soliciting
credible bidders. The winners who
emerged out of this process and settled the
agreed license fees included:
• Econet Wireless Nigeria,
• Mobile Telephone Networks (MTN) and
Communications Nigeria. Click the button

• The new GSM licences were awarded for
a period of five years (renewable) and all
operators can operate in the 900Mhz and
1800Mhz spectrum bands. Whereas they
do provide for a potential upgrading of
future networks to GPRS (general packet
radio switching), they do not encompass
third generation (3G) networks, which will
probably be auctioned off sometime in the
future.

Nigeria’s digital mobile network has grown
significantly since the three companies, awarded the
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
licence in January 2001, began operating in August
2001. According to the Nigerian Communications
Commission (NCC) the GSM network achieved
350,000 connections within six months of their
launch (Telecommunication in Nigeria-Overview

-The State of ICT in Nigeria
• By August 7, 2008, seven years since the introduction
of GSM in Nigeria, the country has witnessed an
unprecedented massive development of telecom
infrastructure across the country by the operators.
Indeed, the rate of investment in the telecom sector
since 1999 is regarded only second to the oil industry.
With over 45 million subscriber base, Nigeria's
telecommunication industry is regarded as the fastest
growing in the world. This has opened up huge
business opportunities in the telecom industry.

The GSM has also revolutionalized our business environment as
people can transact their businesses from the comfort of their
homes through the use of GSM facilities. At the same time
social relationships have been enhanced. GSM has also
empowered the people economically through creation of mass
employment.
Today, so many unemployed people are earning their living by
• making phone calls,
• selling recharge cards and
• GSM accessories.
GSM has equally become a major source of revenue for the
government.

• The NCC has continued to introduce necessary
measures to enhance the quality of service
delivery and steady growth of the industry. The
measures include the introduction of unified
licensing, which made it possible for fixed
wireless operators to offer GSM service. Equally
significant is the granting of G3& 4G licenses to
some operators. The G3& 4G , as it is popularly
called, is the most advanced technology on
GSM, which enables the operators to offer
Multimedia service (data, voice, video, internet,
mobile/web-broadcasting services).Click the button

Assessment of the state of the ICT
1. Telecom availability has improved and
Nigeria is one of the world’s fastest
growing mobile markets. But the cold,
hard facts are that communications
quality is low and ICT penetration is still
insufficient considering Nigeria’s size
and population.

2. It’s important to note that important
variations in the nature of access
determine telecom impact, for instance,
broadband density is particularly low as
there is a great gulf between broadband
and voice telephony penetration. Nigeria
must move beyond voice telephony.

3. Furthermore, cost is a barrier. Lack of
awareness and access excludes many from
the digital environment. In a country
where poverty still walks the streets, ICT
remains a stranger. Computing and
telecom resources are unaffordable to the
majority.

4. Software is at the heart of the global knowledge
economy. Any nation that values its sovereignty
must take software serious. Software
opportunities in Nigeria are not being fully
exploited to unleash the potentials of the
Nigerian people and the Nigerian nation. Local
developers however face challenges of ignorance
and patronage. Existing software promotion
policies have not made much impact.

fraud and general identity theft are on the
increase. Security of information assets is
critical to building confidence in today’s

Implications Drawn for the Nigerian Economy
• There is now what is called "knowledge driven
economy" (KDE) or "the new economy", Debbie, (2000)
describes it as an economy in which the generation and
the exploitation of knowledge has come to play the
predominant part in the creation of wealth. It is about the
more effective use of all types of knowledge and
creativity in all manner of economic activity.
• Most of Nigeria’s wealth and power is from the control
of physical assets - land, oil, iron and steel, coal. In the
21st century, as Debbie (2000) argues, this cannot
continue to happen simply because the major source of
value and competitive advantage in the new economy is
human and intellectual capital. As Nigeria lags Petals
