Research On Competition, Compatability And Policy Of ICT Standardization

Now in the field of information and Communications Technology (ICT),standards demostrate close relationship with intellectual property rights(IPR) as great profit can be obtained by controlling ICT standards and related IPRs. As the Information Technology Revolution is interacted with economy globalization, ICT standards become a commanding point for global market competition especially among transnational corporations,as well as a key tool for international economic competition and to some extent a kind of technical barriers in international trade.Under this situation, this dissertation mainly focuses research on ICT standards competition mechanism, public policy and national strategies and concerned content, in order to push forward related theory study and problem solving.Since the beginning of 21 Century, with the rapid expansion of ICT market and the rapid development of ICT technology, China has been actively and steadily pushing forward the innovative strategies for ICT standardization. Such innovative ICT technology standards s TD-SCDMA, WAPI, GoTa, AVS,IGRS,terrestrial digital TV, mobile TV, High-Definition Optical Disc System,etc.,are introduced into market which has got great concern in the world.Though China has made encouraging achievements, some drawbacks are still experienced.How to get awareness of the inherent characteristics and competitive mechanisms of ICT technology standardization, and how to seek competitive advantage and international interests based on the reality of China and other contoury with regard to the policies and strategies system for ICT technology standardization, are both worth to in-depth study for China's scholars, as this paper tend to give analysis and discussion on these questions.The main contributions of this dissertation are as follows.(1)Analysis on the characteristics in standardization of ICT technology contestBased on the general theory of standardization and some typical cases in ICT field, the properties in ICT standardization comtest are analyzed, and the impact on the standardization brought forward by these properties is detailed summarized in the dissertation.(2) Analysis on the game model and strategy of competition & cooperation under network effectBased on the Hotelling static game model, a dynamic game model is devised to analyzed the differentiated strategy of ICT standardization, and such factors as fixed cost and variable cost are discussed concerned about ICT standards competition. Game strategies of ICT standardization under Some secene including technology pioneering, patent constraints and technology diffusion phenomena are analyzed.Most of these studies may correspond with the reality scene and are worthy of in-depth study.(3) Sysmatic summary of policy framework and national strategy model in ICT standards warCombined with case discussion, the national policy and strategy model of United States,Europe and Japan are compared and analyzed as for ICT standardization.Basic framework and mechism of national strategy concerned about ICT standardization are researched and summarized,while market failure, regulatory failure phenomenon related to standardization is studied.(4) In-depth analysis on strategy and cases of ICT standardization in ChinaRich experience and technology background in ICT field favor the author to make in-depth and objective analysis on some typical case of ICT standardization in China such as TD-SCDMA,WAPI,Mobile TV, terrestrial digital television, digital trunking and other standard-setting case.Standardization mechanism including existing problemes is well analyzed, and suggestion on the strategy and policies of China's ICT standardization are put forward.
