Ben,
<< Korea MII cites unstable, ever-changing UMTS specifications >>
Now there is an unbiased source.
Minister Yang, Seungtaek has something of a mission, does he not? Still trying to peddle a license nobody wants unless it is given away..
On the other hand when he says that "The aynchronous IMT 2000 service will be difficult to implement by June next year, even if we only use technically proven foreign equipment", he has a valid point.
Attempts to put new technology into real commercial service too early, run a risk.
Happens in all technologies.
No since giving a technology a black eye for something as visible as the World Cup.
Good thing for us Qualcommers the World cup wasn't last October.
Still, I don't think that Yang's motivation is necessarily based on sensible timetables.
Also ETRI's Chae, Jongsuk is absolutely correct when he says "the international standard underlying W-CDMA technology is complemented and revised every 3 months." T'is a fact.
<< And actually, they're being generous. UMTS specifications receive scores of corrections and revisions at least monthly. >>
They certainly do. That's how it works and how it was designed to work. Ongoing cleanup and clarification. That's not new with fast tracking. You wind up with everybody on the same page and eventually the requisite interoperability.
<< the wCDMA pipe dream >>
He who thinketh WCDMA is a pipe dream could be pipe dreaming.
<< TTA ... is presently pushing hard for the harmonization of 1xevdv and HSDPA. >>
That evidently was introduced at the ITU WP8F meetings in Morocco in late February, but I don't know how that stands. Do you?
Do you know the specific dates of the June meetings?
Also last 3GPP report I saw on subject (late April) was looking for a best and final submission of DS-HSDPA for October and I'm under the impression that goal is same for 1x-EV-DV.
You seem to think 1x-EV-DV won't make it. I don't have an opinion about whether DS-HSDPA will, except it seems pretty ambitious.
Much more politics centered around 1x-EV-DV than DS-HSDPA for sure, in that non-political group called 3GPP2.
Meantime. I lost a link. Happens to the best of us, I guess? <g>
One to 2 weeks ago I saw an article about the potential mergers of the 2G/3G entities within SKT & KTF. It was rather convoluted, but it talked about "The Law of Big Waves", or something like that?
If you happen to bump across this article, or anything related to "The Law of Big Waves" would you clip it here please?
TIA.
