Summary
Two groups – industry standards development organizations (SDOs) and the open source software (OSS) community – have contributed enormously to the breathtaking technological achievements of recent decades that permit anyone almost anywhere in the world to catch a Pokémon on a $100 smartphone. SDOs have been remarkable stewards of this innovation, developing principles and processes of self-governance, such as FRAND (“fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory”) licensing, as well as catalyzing the inclusion of the best available technology from their applicable fields, in the standards they set.
