1 All, Sprint has remained fairly quiet on the issues regarding the control plane as we have been working to formulate our internal views.
Issues raised by others and some added here are of particular concern.
In order to move forward, it is recommended that the scope of this version of the standard be re-evaluated and all issues related to that scope of work resolved before standardization. We tried to include here as many items that we could although it is not all inclusive as there were so many issues raised. We believe it is not in the best interest of any of the parties involved to standardize as things stand with so many known issues outstanding. As such, there is no way to ensure all needed features have been provided by the specification. Assumptions regarding the transmission plane that can affect the control plane must be clearly documented.
