Openness is not a given on the Internet. Technical standards--the underlyingarchitecture that enables interoperability among hardware and software from differentmanufacturers--increasingly control individual freedom and the pace of innovation in technologymarkets. Heated battles rage over the very definition of "openness" and what constitutesan open standard in information and communication technologies. In Opening Standards, experts fromindustry, academia, and public policy explore just what is at stake in these controversies,considering both economic and political implications of open standards. The book examines the effectof open standards on innovation, on the relationship between interoperability and public policy (andif government has a responsibility to promote open standards), and on intellectual property rightsin standardization--an issue at the heart of current global controversies. Finally, OpeningStandards recommends a framework for defining openness in twenty-first-century informationinfrastructures. Contributors discuss such topics as how to reflect the public interest in theprivate standards-setting process; why open standards have a beneficial effect on competition andInternet freedom; the effects of intellectual property rights on standards openness; and how todefine standard, open standard, and software interoperability.
