Internet, such a high priority for LDCs ?
for people facing lack of safe drinking water, rising
food prices, and a chronic shortage of healthcare ?
Dr Touré (ITU Sec. Gen.):
‘YES’ to effectively deliver vital services, such as
healthcare and education in countries where
people are chronically deprived of these services.
ITU commitment (May, ‘11) to the UN
Istanbul Programme of Action for LDCs 2011-2020
Phone: 25 lines per 100 inhabitant
Internet: 15 per 100 inhabitants
AP region has 20% of entire Developing Countries
and 30% of Least Developing Countries.
PP. 10. rev. Res. 71
Strategic plan for the Union for 2012-2015
Objective 2 – Producing global standards
- consistent with member needs, such as
narrowing the digital divide, improving health and
safety and protecting the environment, and
developing standards to facilitate access to
telecoms/ICTs by persons with disabilities
- meeting global user needs that rely not
only on state-of-the-art technologies but
also on matured proven technologies
- Achieving interoperability of services/equipment
All ITU-T SGs are requested to report
to the next TSAG with a plan of actions
An Example along with objective 2
Setting up a low cost sustainable telecom. infrastructure for
rural communications in developing countries(Q22/SG5)
Challenges include ;
-Ultimate Cost reduction needed
-Shortage of electric Power
-Difficult terrain with Difficult access/transportation
-Lack of skilled manpower for maintenance of networks .
-scattered small population
Requirements for Low cost, Sustainable systems
Mobile network systems
Trunk lines between regions
to be developed under Q22
Needs to Work with
ITU-T SG15WP2 ; Opt. access/transport NW Infrastructure
ITU-D Q10-3/2 ; Telecom/ICT for rural and remote areas
ITU-R SG5
;Terrestrial services
Examples of ITU-T activities including
socio-public needs (2012-2015)
Examples :
Q22/05 Setting up a low cost sustainable telecom.
infra. for rural communications in d-ing countries
Q13/11
Coordination of work on Emergency
Communications within an NGN environment
Q18/12
Conferencing and telemeeting assessment
Q26/16

Summary
TSB Directors Remarks
Feb. 2011 TSAG
Some key issues identified
(1) ITU-T Strategic Goals(& Objectives) PP. Res. 171
(2) Conformance & interoperability (PP. Res. 177 )
(3) Internet-related Issues (PP. Res. 101, 102, 178 )
(4) ICT accessibility (disabilities/seniors) (PP. Res. 175)
(5) Cyber security threats (PP. rev. Res. 130)
(6) Child online protection (PP. Res. 179)
PP.10 (new)Res. 167 (e-meetings)
for Energy-efficiency and time, cost effectiveness
resolves
a)that ITU should further develop its facilities and
capabilities for remote participation by electronic
means,,,
Feb. 2011 TSAG agreed：Decision-making portions
of SG、or TSAG, remote participation must be
limited to remote observation.
Points of discussion for e-participation in physical
meetings(ASTAP18/INP-35 to ITU-T Issues Group)
-bringing interpreters
-avoiding late at night (local time)
-Providing facial (live video) images
-allowing the use of working documents
-enabling private conversation during the brakes
PP.10 (new)Res. 175 (Accessibility)
Telecom/info. and communication technol. accessibility for
persons with disabilities, including age-related disabilities
Feb. 2011 TSAG considered favourably the
proposal to establish a FG under SG 16
FG on Audiovisual Media Accessibility (FG-AVA)
established in March 2011 at SG16 report to SG16
making audiovisual media accessible for persons with disabilities
Chair Mr Peter Olaf Looms (European Broadcasting Union and Denmark)
JCA-AHF(Accessibility and human factors) will continue
increasing awareness, providing advice on the accessibility of ITU
facilities and services (reporting to SG2), particularly for
Q 4/2
Human factors related issues for improve’t of the
QoL through international telecommunications
Q 26/16 Accessibility to Multimedia Systems and Services
AHF Chair Ms. Andrea Sacks (USA))
PP.10 (new)Res. 177
Conformance and interoperability
Invites Sector Members to
-Populate the pilot conformity database
-Participate in ITU interoperability events;
-Contribute to building test capacity in D-ping Counts.
e.g., as part of supply contract of services/systems
Instructs TSB Director to
-Improve standards-setting processes for interop`bility
-Prepare a business plan for implementing Res.177.
Concerns on the TSB’S plan; TSB needs to
-have more details; lot of data missing
-consult with stakeholders under appropriate consulting
scheme
-list real problems D-ing counts. is facing
Internet-related resolutions
PP.10 Res. (rev.)101, (rev.)102, (new)178
PP.10 Res.(new)178
ITU role in organizing the work on technical aspects of
teleco networks to support the Internet
considering
a)
bridging the digital divide demands decisive
cooperation and involvement of the entire world
Invites
WTSA 2012 to “adjust” the ITU-T structure for
improving the technical work for supporting the
Internet, by establishing a SG or other appropriate
group, based on the inputs from TSB (and TSAG)
TSAG Correspondence Group on PP. 178 created
Internet of Things
Any THING connected to the Internet
at any TIME, from any PLACE
JCA-IoT (Internet of Things:
ex. JCA-NID)
.
- “IoT” includes NID of things(e.g., tag based), and
USN(ubiquitous sensor network)
- USN includes networking and service
aspects of sensor information
GSI-IoT (Global Standards Initiative)
- The visible single location for information
- Develop the definition of IoT
- SGs 2, 3, 11, 13, 16, 17 join and report to TSAG.
1st mtg. 9-13 May, 2011
34 participants (Korea12, China 5, US 3, Jp 2,,,,)
PP.10 (new)Res. 182
Role of ICT for climate change/environ’t protection
(1)SG5 WP3(ICT and Climate Change)
-Evaluation methodologies for the ICT effects on climate
change
-Designing methodologies to reduce environ’tal effects, for
example recycling.
(2)JCA on ICT and climate change:
-Shows ITU leadership in GHG/energy Issues
-Leads application of ICTs in other industries
PP.10 (new)Res. 183
Telecom/ICT applications for e-health
(not exhaustive)
Considering
-WHO defines it as “cost-effective and secure use of
ICTs to support human health”
-WTDC Res. 65 (Hyderabad, ‘10) instructs to improve
access to healthcare services by ICTs
-eHealth is far from optimized nor integrated yet
Resolves to instruct the ITU Sec. Gen.
to give priority to eHealth
to document best practice examples of eHealth
to collaborate with WHO on eHealth
Invites MSs
to consider developing regulations, standards and
guidelines to enhance developm’t of eHealth services
Encourages MSs and SMs
to contribute to eHealth Studies (& for Standards)
ITU-T Q28/16 (e-health)
Multimedia framework for e-health applications
Factors to consider (ITU-T Technol. Watch Report)
(1) Interoperability of standards/institutional systems
(2) privacy, nondiscriminatoriness, quality, security
(3) Heavily regulated, non risk-taking Industries
http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/techwatch/Pages/ehealth-standards.aspx
Tasks on e-health standardization
-Identification of users' requirements
-Multimedia framework and Roadmap for Standards
-Generic architecture/Specific system characteristics
-New Work Items include
-IPTV/Mobile e-health(Unified interfaces needed)
-Wearable and sensor networks
-Networked vehicle (e.g. ambulance)
Other TSAG Outcomes
(1)FG Smart Grid continues until Dec. 2011
-NO new JCA nor GSI
-Five deliverables by the end of June.
(2)FG Cloud Computing continues until Dec. 2011
(3) FG Driver Distraction (parent: SG12)
endorsed
Scope
Reduce injuries and fatalities by minimizing the
cognitive demands for driving and non-driving tasks
(e.g., talking on the phone).
Target Recs.
-Subjective test methods for assessment of driver workload
-User and QoS performance requirements for automotive
applications, services, and networks
-mechanisms for managing information flow and message
formats
Summary
-ITU commitment (May, ‘11) to the UN, noted
(Istanbul Programme of Action for LDCs 2011-2020)
>15 internet connection per 100 inhabitants to effectively
deliver vital services in LDCs (30% of 48 LDCs are from AP)
-ITU-T new objectives ‘12- ‘15 (PP. Res. 71), noted
(1)digital divide, health, safety, environment, disabilities,
(2) not only on new technologies but on matured proven technologies
(3)interoperability
-APT countries could identify standard needs along
with the ITU commitment and new ITU-T objectives
above and put them to ITU-T directly or through
ASTAP
Let’s Best use ITU-T for AP regions to grow
together in a sustainable manner
