Summary
As noted in the Introduction to the companion volume, technical interoperability standards are ubiquitous in the modern networked economy. They enable products made and sold by different vendors to interact with little to no consumer intervention. They allow new market entrants, small and large, to innovate on top of established technology platforms, bringing technological advances to all corners of the globe. They expand consumer choice, eliminate duplicative development efforts, and accelerate product and feature design. Standards have enabled connected systems for more than a century, beginning with railroad tracks and telegraph lines and today forming essential elements of the modern communications, computing, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation industries.
