Chair’s Summary of Discussions The SG reviewed several contributions related to Mobile Broadband Network Performance Measurements – agreed to recommend a PAR for Plenary approval. The SG noted expressions of support for and a desire to participate in these activities from representatives of the following companies: –Google, Inc. –NIST –Georgia Tech –Mobile Pulse, Inc. Nada Golmie (NIST) has requested that, “given the large scope of the proposed Study Group, we realize that it may take longer to define specific projects, so we hope that the Study Group will be extended past its original July termination period and remain open to contributions on new topics at least through December.”
