ITU Recommends 5 Standards> ITU to recommend 5 new cellular phone standards THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1999 2:22 AM - Kyodo News GENEVA, Nov. 11 (Kyodo) -- The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) will recommend five types of next-generation cellular phone global standards next May when it holds a convention in Turkey on wireless communication, ITU sources said Thursday. The five standards include a CDMA formula proposed by Japan and the European Union and a separate CDMA formula developed by Qualcomm Inc. of the United States, the sources said. The convention will put an end to years of work undertaken by the Geneva-based ITU on drafting global standards for next-generation cellular phones. The phones would be capable of high-speed data transmission so that they could send and receive video signals to or from anywhere around the globe. In Japan, NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc. plans to launch the next-generation cellular phone service in 2001 as the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications plans to recognize two of the five standards.
