Editing Open standard (section)

{{Short description|Standard that is openly accessible and usable by anyone}}
An '''open standard''' is a standard that is openly accessible and usable by anyone. It is also a common prerequisite that open standards use an open license that provides for extensibility. Typically, anybody can participate in their development due to their inherently open nature. There is no single definition, and interpretations vary with usage. Examples of open standards include the [[GSM]], [[4G]], and [[5G]] standards that allow most modern [[mobile phone]]s to work world-wide.
