| defunct itu the itu took so much friggen time with 802.11n that they've almost made themselves irrelevant for whatever comes out. back when there were alot more incompatible and non-backwards compatible (read proprietary) communications modulations being developed there was a vast need for ITU's work to "bless" a set of standards and development working group to work on standards, however the apparent big money that created virutual monopolies on communications produts will for the foreseeable future work within a narrow window of com standards. wireless/cellular in particular will use whatever they want. there WILL BE NO ONE MODULATION TO RULE THEM ALL.. not for voice, not for data. ITU doesn't have any teeth to make this possible, nor does the FCC or any other government agency. this is left to the individual companies in a so-called monopoly & deregulated marketplace.
just the way blue ray isn't the end-all be all of high definition video, com standards will be very vaguely implemented on different standards to lock consumers into one or two carriers at most. only way to fix that is to design the device to support all standards with the removal and insertion of a rf card. however, making the carriers conform to supporting ALL handsets available-- but that's not gonna happen. the wireless carriers control the gate, the issues, prices, and policy and infrastructure (to some extent). that make itu rather irrelevant these days. |
