Telecom Firms Call For Early
Decision On Global Mobile Standard

TOKYO (Nikkei)--Three Japanese companies and eight
overseas telecommunication companies have issued a joint
statement calling for early agreement on a global standard for the
next generation of mobile phones.

They say the harmonization issue needs to be separated from the
dispute over copyright payments for use of the technology.

The Japanese firms -- NTT Mobile Communications Network
Inc. (9437) (NTT DoCoMo), Japan Telecom Co. (9434) and
Nissan Motor Co. (7201) -- and the overseas firms, including
British Telecommunications and France Telecom, all support
using a version of the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
format as the global standard.

Qualcomm Inc. of the U.S. and Ericsson of Sweden are
embroiled in a long-running dispute about copyright payments for
CDMA technology.

The International Telecommunications Union has warned the
global wireless industry that CDMA-based proposals could be
excluded from further consideration if the issue is not resolved by
the end of this year.

On concern about the lack of a CDMA-based global standard,
the eleven telecom firms claim in the statement that the property
rights is an issue that should be left to the parties in dispute and
harmonization should proceed without delay.
