8、oration (NTT) groups in Japan. The goal of these case studies is to clarify the second order effects per private subscriber of the ICT services in compliance with ITU-T L.1410 for the assessed ICT services. The second order effects of each target scenario, e.g., e-mail, video/music on demand and gam

9、es, provided by each ICT service are evaluated by comparative analyses between each target scenario and corresponding reference scenarios, which are defined as a private subscribers behaviour when not using an ICT service. Both scenarios are defined in a questionnaire investigation given to users. T

10、he total second order effects per subscriber for each ICT service are obtained by aggregating the results of these comparative analyses based on hybrid LCA.

13、ion Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff ques

14、tions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendation

15、s on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this publication, the

35、(NTT) groups in Japan. Scenarios for comparison were based on the results of a customer questionnaire. In this case study, a hybrid approach that includes environmentally extended economic inputoutput analysis (IOA) for production and end-of life was applied. 5.2.2 Scenarios for comparison Figures 1

36、-2 and 1-3 show model diagrams of target scenarios and reference scenarios, respectively. NOTE The target scenarios for mobile networks only include access by smartphones (for LTE) and feature phones (for W-CDMA). This is a simplification as in reality networks are also accessed by other devices suc

38、16) 5 Figure 1-3 Reference scenario NOTE Symbols rn (n = 128) correspond to reference scenario IDs in Table1-1. Scenarios for comparison were based on the results of questionnaire 1 for private customers of each ICT service, which are shown in Table 1-1. In the reference scenario, users utilize diff

39、erent devices, e.g., paper, compact disc (CD) players or televisions (TVs), to perform different services/functions, e.g., meeting or sending mail. For each function, the usage per year is modelled based on the anticipated use of these services if no ICT service were available, based on a questionna

40、ire on which private customers estimate what they would have done in that case. Usage per year was checked for all ICT services. As an example, for the function “talk to someone“, users were asked whether they would use a home telephone or a public phone, meet in person or do nothing if they could n

41、ot have used the smartphone, for example. Based on the responses, the reference scenario was set up. To model this scenario each function was represented by the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the equipment used to perform the alternative activity. For example, “using a home phone“ wa

42、s modelled on the impact of the ICT hardware needed for use and “meeting someone“ on the transport needed, as further specified in clause 5.2.4. In total, 121 reference cases were defined. The allocation of equipment impact to different functions was based on usage time, as experienced by the user,

43、e.g., time spent on a phone call. The usage of different ICT services in the target scenarios were defined by statistics from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications in Japan, which shows the actual use of each ICT service. Each ICT service was then modelled, based on impact of the equip

44、ment needed to perform the services, as specified in clause 5.2.4. Also, in this case, the allocation of equipment impact on the different functions was based on usage time. 6 L series Supplement 34 (10/2016) The results of the questionnaire are shown in Appendix III.
