Impact of IMT Standardisation on Technology Development
SLIDE 10
- The IMT standardisation process has created a new
type of technology neutrality that is limited to the IMT standards.
- The IMT identification process has created an
indirect link between the spectrum and the IMT standards.
- The ITU-R set the framework for both cooperation
and competition between the different technologies proponents.
