The world today runs on data and information. This data and information need to be transmitted from place to place in seconds. Transmitting this data all over the world needs some Telecommunication standards. Phone numbers that we dial every day and the usage of internet requires certain protocols to be standard at the scale of the world. Standards make this possible.
