Standards

WHAT'S NEXT?: Improving standards are likely to be driven more by business and technological improvement than governments in the future. The latter will be under severe pressure to cut bureaucracy, speed policy making and improve their nation's productivity performance.

[New] A unified set of standards between the United States, European Union, and other major shipping countries would reduce risk for investments into low-carbon hydrogen production and infrastructure as well as eliminate incentives to escape more stringent regulations in particular areas.
[New] Hungary and Poland are increasingly at odds with the European Union over threats to the rule of law and tightening state control, a European Commission report warned last year.
[New] Increasing the power levels would help align the U.S. band with international standards and create efficiencies for mid-band 5G builds in the U.S. that could span the 3.45 GHz to C-band spectrum ranges.
[New] The first result is encouraging to scientists conducting other present and planned muon experiments, including a future g-2 experiment that will be conducted in Japan, and the next muon experiment at Fermilab - the Mu2e experiment.
[New] As part of plans to liberalize financial services further in the southern island province, SAFE will support Hainan in launching a free trade account, through which businesses can settle cross-border transactions in local and foreign currencies and conduct overseas financing business.
[New] Investments in clean energy and efficiency would support a historic energy efficiency and clean electricity standard that would transform the electric sector to be carbon pollution free by 2035 and create good paying union jobs.
[New] The Wi-Fi Alliance, which sets standards for and certifies Wi-Fi 6 products, anticipates close to 2 billion Wi-Fi 6 devices to be shipped in 2021 to consumers and organizations.
[New] Increased competition, including between China and the United States, under agreed multilateral rules instead of bans for strategic, security or protectionist reasons will lift innovation and productivity and reduce risks borne by governments and societies.
[New] At a time when only 20% of Americans believe public officials in Washington are capable of doing the right thing, the DOJ has the responsibility and opportunity to set a new standard of accountability in the federal government.
[New] If PRC-originated technical standards are adopted internationally, PRC-made systems will enjoy greater interoperability and market access around the world in ways that erode democratic integrity.
[New] The European Commission has repeatedly expressed concerns about the rule of law in Hungary, though its new budget clawback mechanism will likely only take effect after the general election.
[New] Researchers hope to create a global, open-source data repository with information gathered from hydrophones across the planet to measure and document the effects of noise on the behaviour of sea life.
[New] Changes to how taxing rights are allocated could redistribute around $100 billion, while the minimum-tax pillar, combined with existing U.S. rules, would boost global revenues for governments by as much as $100 billion a year.
[New] Other competitors such as the European Union and China have advanced on carbon pricing, through emissions trading schemes, and both could impose border carbon adjustments imposing a tax on the exports of countries like the U.S. that do not put a price on pollution.
[New] The United States will play a lead role in defending democracy, freedom, and the rule of law, working with U.S. allies and partners abroad to restore and defend democratic institutions globally, and counter malign influence from China, Russia, and other authoritarian states.
[New] A set of YARA rules to catch Kubesploit binaries will make it possible to discover if cybercriminals have decided to employ the framework to launch a real attack against a Kubernetes environment.
[New] As a software as a service (SaaS) technology, PCBflow incorporates the security standards of Siemens' software, reducing risk and protecting intellectual property (IP) with no additional IT investment.
[New] GAIA-X aims to provide a common set of standards and rules for data storage and transfer that all participating cloud services will need to abide by.
[New] Chinese companies have been told to go out and sell advanced technologies that will carry their country's values and technical standards around the world, notably via the Belt and Road Initiative.
[New] The United States and China could decide that intelligence operations to obtain information should not be carried out through cyber intrusions, whether they target core NC3 systems purposefully and directly or are designed to spread to the core NC3 from other systems.
[New] The United States has sought capabilities to be able to conduct preemptive cyber, conventional, or nuclear strikes on adversary nuclear forces, doubting that China will uphold its no-first-use pledge in an actual conflict.
[New] China's principal concern stems from perceptions that the United States seeks superior cyber, conventional, and nuclear capabilities that could be used to conduct first strikes against China's nuclear deterrent and blunt Chinese retaliatory capability.
[New] The backbone of the infrastructure plan, as some advocates have referred to it, is the clean electricity standard requiring the U.S. to have a carbon-free power sector by 2035.
