Meanwhile this is from ETSI: …
However we read these proposals to re-invent things from the standards politics angle, the messages RIPE should send are:
The Internet with TCP/IP protocols is the global utility for communication these days. Any new standards, especially those tailored to particular operational domains like mobile, must be interoperable and any new deployments must interoperate.
I can't resist adding that, in hindsight, it would have been better if IPv6 had been backwards compatible with IPv4.
Not only with hindsight. There was even a brief period when this was about to happen. If I remember correctly it was the major router vendors who flatly stated this would not be implementable. But my memory is not what it used to be ….
Hallway talk: the atrocious kludges that are deployed today for running Internet over mobile are partly due to the relevant standards bodies not talking.
Therefore anyone proposing to do work on standards needs to at least closely work with the IETF in the standardisation area if not work within the IETF.
As I presume we all know, standardization is a very competitive business, and forum-shopping is a fact of life. If one SDO does not deliver what participants want, they will move to a different SDO.
Absolutely true. Therefore our task as operators should be to argue at least for cooperation and to offer operational advice. Stay safe and healthy Daniel
