Who does the billing? How are revenues shared between content provider, service provider and portal?

17 Benefits of Globally Harmonized 3G Networks Increased 3G penetration and usage Manufacturers development costs spread out across a larger installed base Ability for customers to roam with their services across regions, countries and systems Increased ability of the Information Technology, Internet and Personal Computer industries to provide mobile applications, solutions and subscriber devices Smooth and compatible evolution path from existing 2G infrastructures

18 Regulating for implementation

19 Global Circulation of IMT-2000 Terminals Right of users to carry their personal terminals into a visited country, and the ability to use them wherever possible : without causing unacceptable interference; considering health and safety requirements. Actions towards an agreed international framework to facilitate global circulation: ITU-R WP8F: Recs. IMT.RCIRC & UNWANT (technical basis) Consultation by ITU-SG: on basic principles of no individual license; no additional terminal certification or type approval; and customs arrangements. Informal consultation meetings: ITU & EC/CITEL/APT. IMTEM = IMT Electronic Mark (terminal identifier w/ regulatory data to be used only where legally required)
