ITU>

The mobile equipment industry, meanwhile, has become increasingly reliant on the work of the
bureau in equipment standards, spectrum allocations and third-generation (3G) developments. Bill
Bold, vice president of government affairs with leading wireless software developer Qualcomm Inc.
(San Diego), praises the ITU's "global leadership and strong direction" and its consensus-building
approach to standards development.

Bold says the bureau's recent efforts to bring the industry together on IMT-2000 has helped
companies find common ground and work together for the benefit of the industry as a whole. Take
his company's recent dispute with L.M. Ericsson AB (Stockholm) over intellectual property rights to
wideband code-division multiple access (W-CDMA) and CDMA-2000 technologies: The ITU gave
both companies an ultimatum to sort out their differences before a crucial ITU-R meeting in March to
choose the IMT-2000 air interface. They did. Bold believes the ITU's commitment to the IMT-2000
concept has helped focus and bond the wireless industry together.

"Secretary-General Yoshio Utsumi's decision to attend the meeting in person sent strong signals to
the industry," he says. "The BR has been very responsive in the area of IMT-2000 and is clearly
dedicated to the vision of a unified global system for 3G mobile."
