Abstract

Although organizations such as ITO, ISO and IEEE provide for standardization, there are still many debates and problems that co-exist during the standardization process. The standards process is an ongoing war between the standards organizations and the data communication equipment providers and software companies. The problems that arise from this confrontation is that the standards organizations are trying to standardize the products that the data communications equipment and software companies produce, but the manufacturers are not standing idly by and waiting for the standard organizations to do so. Several solutions that eliminate some of the problems that exist in the standardization process are discussed including the case of wireless standards
