This is accomplished through industry member participation working together to develop specifications (IAs) for external network element interfaces, software interfaces internal to network elements and hardware component interfaces internal to network elements.

Famous quotes containing the word agreements:
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
