ITU to promote interoperability of ICT products

摘要

The ITU is to set up a global database that will log products' declaring conformity to ITU standards. The move is part of a wider ITU Initiative designed to give purchasers of ICT equipment a much clearer picture of that equipment's ability to intemperate with other ICT devices.rnAccording to the ITU, "The programme will support much more informed purchasing decisions for end users - be they companies or consumers - and has the potential to widen markets, increase competition and decrease costs. It will allow purchasers to freely consult a comprehensive global database to check whether a product conforms to ITU standards, or will work with other network elements."
