re: Wireless Multimedia Forum (WMF) and the All-IP Network
----------

MWIF Network Reference Architecture (NRA) v2 completed March 2001.
MWIF NRA v3 targeted for July.
OpenRAN v1 is being prepared for ballot.
OpenRAN v2 for 3GPP/3GPP2 vision programs is targeted for October 2001.

Further, and perhaps, in my view, more importantly:

"...OHG (Operators' Harmonization Group) intends to drive a single All IP specification which is independent of radio technology. They want to push for common development between 3GPP and 3GPP2...... OHG is attempting to prepare a vision statement of future direction. Targeting completion of this statement by this summer..."

"....What's important to understand is that while UMTS and CDMA2000 both are based on direct-sequence spread-spectrum radio technology, and while it may be possible to develop cell phones that are agile enough to work on either network, the core infrastructure networks are fundamentally different, using both different network elements and different protocols for communications between nodes...."

Its strikes me that OHG's proposal may make the GSM Guild (aside perhaps from Vodafone) rather nervous, as it minimizes the differences between flavors that were so deliberately constructed into the wCDMA standard. In my view, it's in the vested interest of the Guild to try and maintain these differences, while it is only helpful to Q's strategy to minimize or eliminate them... (though radioOne and the 6000 series chipsets may well render the issue moot).
