Abstract
This colloquium generally supported the commercialization of standardization as evidenced by the growing success of consortia (SDOs successes such as GSM cellular were also in evidence), supported the US laissez faire standardization regime (although international participants were less enthusiastic), identified the increasing tensions between intellectual property rights and communications standards, and highlighted the need for more formal standards education programs.
