Synopsis
How standards shape computer networks—and why some win adoption while others fade away.
This book analyzes how standards like X.25 emerged in a fast-changing world of computers and telecommunications. It explains why leaders’ choices and cross‑organizational cooperation mattered as networks grew and new technologies appeared.
Readers will see how compatibility and variety reduction drive standard decisions, how top managers accelerated or slowed progress, and why layering and cross‑organization collaboration can produce higher quality results.
- How standards affect interoperability and device compatibility across networks
- The role of leadership and organizational incentives in reaching agreement
- The benefits of a layered approach that lets standards evolve over time
- How collaboration between CCITT, ISO, and other groups can raise standard quality
Ideal for readers of technology history, networking professionals, and policymakers interested in how standards shape real-world networks.
