## First Generation - The analog mobile systems (such as AMPS) that were first adopted for cellular use in the 1980’s.
Second Generation - The first digital mobile systems (such as GSM, CDMA, US TDMA/D-AMPS) that began to be implemented in the 1990’s.
Third Generation - The next generation of digital mobile systems, forecast to provide greater ability to handle high speed data (for internet access, multimedia transfer, etc.); anticipated to be available in the early 2000’s.

## “IMT-2000 defines third generation mobile systems which are scheduled to start service around the year 2000 ...  These systems will provide access by means of one or more radio links to a wide range of telecommunications services supported by the fixed and mobile telecommunications networks (e.g. PSTN/ISDN/PLMN), and to other services which may be unique to IMT-2000.  A range of mobile terminal types designed for mobile and fixed use, is envisaged linking to terrestrial and/or satellite-based networks.”

- 12 May 1998

## “A goal for third generation mobile systems is to provide universal coverage and to enable terminals to be capable of seamless roaming between multiple networks ...  It is a design objective of IMT-2000 that the number of radio interfaces should be minimal and, if more than one interface is required, that there should be a high degree of commonality between them.”

## U.S. Regulatory and Market Environment FCC Principles

- William E. Kennard, Chairman, FCC, 1 October 1997
- 	“I will be guided by three fundamental principles:  competition, community, and common sense.
- 	“The first principle is competition...the FCC must continue to promote competition in every sector of the communications marketplace...
- 	“But competition must not be the goal itself.  It is the FCC’s job to work with the Congress to make sure that competition services consumers.”

- FCC/OET Tutorial

- 12 May 1998

## U.S. Regulatory and Market Environment FCC Principles

- 	“The second principle that will guide me is community...the American people want and expect communications policy to promote competition, but they want more.  They want communications to serve communities-- all of our communities, and everyone within these communities.
- 	“I will work hard to ensure that the communications revolution is inclusive -- not exclusive -- and that small businesses, women, and minorities are not left on the sidelines...”

- FCC/OET Tutorial

- 12 May 1998

## U.S. Regulatory and Market Environment FCC Principles

- 	“The third principle is common sense.  The FCC should always act with common sense.
- 	“The Commission’s rules should be clear and easy to understand.  They should be practical, and reflect an understanding of the markets and businesses they affect.  And they should be in touch with people’s real needs and daily demands.
- 	“Common sense means regulating only when necessary, and writing rules that are narrowly tailored and don’t impose unnecessary burdens.”

- FCC/OET Tutorial

- 12 May 1998

## Promote increased competition
Enable flexibility to respond to the marketplace 
Establish clear guidelines for ensuring that public benefits are achieved
Award licenses quickly and efficiently, using competitive bidding when appropriate
Create administrative certainty through clear and firm ground rules
Develop policies consistent with global marketplace needs

## “As we consider the current and future uses of wireless customers in the U.S. it becomes very apparent that the existing wireless systems will not meet their future demands.  With the fragmentation of capabilities across multiple networks, customers are likely to become increasingly frustrated and confused.  
“Clearly, a next generation of wireless communications technology will be needed.  One that converges the many different wireless technologies across multiple networks and is flexible enough to handle the wide range of demands of the customers.”
