and growth
• Direct contribution ICT sector to GDP,
indirectly by take up and exploitation in other
sectors
• ICT improves quality of life of citizens
• ICT is one of the key ingredients of
sustainable development
• ICT contributes to Lisbon agenda
9. Software and services market in EU15

16. Other examples of policies
ICT Standardisation
• Open consensus building process
• Priority for ensuring interoperability, facilitating ICT
uptake, and ensuring accessibility
• “Technical standards may be arcane, but control over
them can determine the rise or fall of industrial
empires. Just ask Microsoft, or Sony and Toshiba,
which are vying fiercely to set the rules for the next
generation of DVD technology. National prestige is
also at stake. As Chinese officials like to say: third-
class companies make products; second-class
companies develop technology; first-class companies
set standards” (Financial Times, 13 July 2006)
