3GPP’s MRPs High Level Objectives
Concluding remarks
The UMTS Forum... Open to all!
The Industry Voice: we are the only driver for 3rd Generation Mobile world-wide built through consensus between key players cross-sector (operators, regulators, manufacturers, media & IT industries).
Delivers market-focused recommendations.
Informs world’s regulatory authorities on licensing conditions, spectrum issues, global terminal certification and circulation, market dimensions etc.
Leaves technical specifications to Standardisation Bodies.
Is a highly respected Market Representation Partner in 3GPP.
Currently has 192 members from almost 40 countries globally just 3 years after foundation in 1996.
What does the UMTS Forum do?
Promote the UMTS vision across all sectors globally
Encourage investor interest in 3G via media/analyst/ ministerial briefings, workshops, etc
Initiate new Focus based on new Market Study, addressing the main markets
Encourage licensing actions in all member countries
Preparing WRC 2000 via CPM’99 on additional spectrum requirements for UMTS/IMT 2000
What has the UMTS Forum achieved so far?
Establishment of the UMTS Forum as a global organisation and a respected authority on 3G mobile
Fulfilling its responsibility as a MRP in 3GPP
Submission of common positions (e.g. (multi-)national hearings, Telecom‘99, CPM‘99 etc)
Successful support of activities especially concerning spectrum-related matters, global circulation, etc.
Raised awareness internationally of the 3G opportunities
Engaged the IT, Internet and media industries
3GPP’s MRPs High Level Objectives (1)
1 The MRPs role is to provide market and customer requirements to drive standards decision-making and solutions.
2 The MRPs support collaborative standards-making at the global level in order to bring the benefits of new services, economies of scale and new non-proprietary technologies - coupled with widespread access, interoperability, roaming, a wide choice of terminals and user terminal compatibility - to the mass-market.
3 With their respective market knowledge, the MRPs are working together where appropriate to maximise the value of their inputs to 3GPP in order to provide the best possible market solutions.
3GPP’s MRPs High Level Objectives (2)
4 MRPs remain free to present their individual positions consistent with the working practices and consensus-building protocols of 3GPP and its Operational Partners.
5 In addition, the MRPs are working together on matters of common interest which relate to the successful launch and development of networks, applications and services based on 3GPP specifications, for example on timing, spectrum, licensing, regulation, and interoperability.
The present MRPs (GSA, GSM A, IPv6, UMTS F, UWCC) encourage all 3GPP MRPs to adopt these High Level Objectives
Concluding Remarks
Our partnership is beneficial to all organisations
joint targets agreed
avoids duplication of effort and scarce resources
develop the market together
is win-win for members of all organisations
Proactively encouraging early licensing certainty
the telecommunications community together with the media industries & investors must shape 3rd Generation
UMTS licensing has already begun (i.e. Finland)
