There is is s lot of speculation on this thread that for example NTT-Docomo is ready to leave WCDMA and go for IS-95.Another idea is that the standardsetting is more or less stopped because of the IPR:s that QCOM is holding.I would say that everything is moving forward with a high speed.The reason why 3GPP was founded was that ETSI is working on the WCDMA airinterfacestandard with a GSM core network which was decided as the 3G standard for Europe.ETSI is the european standardorganization.Only companies that have business in Europe can be members of ETSI.It means that other standardorganizations couldn't work on the evolved GSM network standard and the WCDMA for ETSI .That's the reason why they started 3GPP It means that all the following standardorganizations are working on a WCDMA standard with a GSM core network. "The five founding 3GPP organizations are the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) and the Telecommunications Technology Committee (TTC), from Japan; ETSI; the U.S. T1 standards committee; and South Korea's Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA). Two Chinese bodies-the Ministry of Information Industry and the Research Institute of Telecommunications and Transmission-are also expected to join " The interesting thing is that the 2 important countries in the world outside LatinAmerica that doesn't have a GSM network today Korea and Japan are members in 3GPP.They don't have the advantage of having a GSM network before but they are also supporting the 3GPP work. This is just my guess.But I think many people on this thread are dreaming if you think that WCDMA can be stopped. /R ps.I am not eating up someones socks or shoes if I am wrong.
