Abstract

The economic interests of the telecommunications industry are increasingly dependent on global markets. This globalization is in great measure due to the past successes of the industry\´s efforts to provide global information movement and management (GIM and M) services through facilitating compatible national and international standards. The provision of ever-improving GIM and M services based on widely implemented global standards is essential to both the telecommunication service industry and the vast array of businesses using these services. Increasingly, "taking care of business"\´ will involve global standards that facilitate use of the best technology to achieve responsive, flexible (user-friendly), manageable, information movement between and among points distributed around the globe as determined by the needs of customers of these services
