Importance of Open Standards

The importance of open standards applies in many ways. Aside from royalty-free implementation and are publicly accessible, open standards also facilitate effective interoperability. This is which I think the most significant. [1]Interoperability means the ability of two or more systems or components to exchange information that has been exchanged. One way of illustrating this importance is by considering interoperability in telecommunications. To be brief, telecommunicating systems must be interoperable in order for the end-users to worry no more on how their connection be understood by different telecommunicating parties.
