“Confusion and duplication cannot serve the purposes of anyone… consumer, manufacturer, service provider, rich or poor country. Clarity, and efficiency must be brought to bear in this – most important of industrial sectors.”

…the standardization gap?

The standardization development gap is defined as disparities in the ability of developing countries, relative to developing ones, to access, implement, contribute to and influence international ICT standards.

The standardization development gap is itself both a cause and a manifestation of the wider digital divide

It contributes to the persistence of the wider digital divide
