>>>... a series of high-level talks with the main proponents in an attempt to arrive at some form of
acceptable compromise on the way forward for IMT-2000 . . . IMT-2000 ... promises to provide
... global roaming offering through both satellite and terrestrial systems ... <<<
>>>... Because of the high bit-rates of third generation systems far in excess of anything available
today and the flexible built-in features such as number portability, third generation systems bring
the promise of fast wireless access to the Internet, real-time videoconferencing and broadcast,
full-motion videophone, video and audio e-mail, or access any type of information stored on
desktops at home or at work. In other words, 3G mobile systems developed on IMT-2000
specifications will be much more than a new class of telephones: they will represent the ultimate
personal accessory, combining at the same time the features of a telephone, a computer, a
television, a newspaper, a library, a personal diary and more.<<<
>>>In addition, the economies of scale achievable with a single global mobile standard should
drive down equipment costs, making the installation and uptake of mobile services in the
developing world much more feasible. Last but not least, by delivering high bandwidth services
such as Internet access currently only found on wireline networks, IMT-2000 will also provide a
vital link to the emerging Global Information Infrastructure with its e-commerce dimension for a
growing number of people.<<<
