Timeline
There was much discussion on the timeline
IMT-Advanced requirements for
May 2007: IMT.SERV (Services) and spectrum
Jan 2008: IMT.TECH (radio technology requirements)
There was much discussion on the need to deliver comments on the IMT.SERV requirements by May 2007
There is no formal need to provide IMT.TECH input prior to Jan 2008, although some participants desired to provide input earlier – i.e. earlier is better
