Peeking into the crystal ball: Future of Internet

5. Internet standardization

 Qian Hualin, a researcher at China Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences

While universal standard is necessary to the development of Internet, excessively specific standard may hinder innovation. A good Internet standard in the 21st Century will be one that sets the basic rules so as to allow more space for free innovation.

 Yang Xiaoya, International Telecommunication Union TSB

The work of setting Internet standards is also full of competition and only those that can come up with the best standard will survive.

 Yang Zeming, secretary general of China Communications Standards Association

The Internet standards have contributed and will contribute a lot to the fast development of the Internet, and we are expected to see various standards making various contributions in the future.
