Focus
The IMTC focuses on:
- Identifying gaps in standards that enable real-time, rich-media communications and the obstacles to ubiquitous utilization of the required products and services in wide area and enterprise networks.
- Developing and submitting technology recommendations to official standards bodies -such as the European Telecommunication Standards Initiative (ETSI), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) - to enhance the interoperability and usability of rich-media products and services.
- Initiating and conducting interoperability test sessions between suppliers of rich-media products and services.
- Educating and promoting the business and consumer communities on the progress and the benefits of the underlying technologies and applications.

Famous quotes containing the word focus:
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“When Western people train the mind, the focus is generally on the left hemisphere of the cortex, which is the portion of the brain that is concerned with words and numbers. We enhance the logical, bounded, linear functions of the mind. In the East, exercises of this sort are for the purpose of getting in tune with the unconscious—to get rid of boundaries, not to create them.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
