EC promotes open platforms for 3G
July 12, 2003
The European Commission (EC) wrote a document on open platforms for 3G
technology. The EC responds to the requests from the Spanish government
for the Commission to produce a report on the remaining barriers to the
achievement of widespread access to new services and applications of the
information through open platforms in 3G mobile communications.
The document analyses limited 3G services over different networks using
different end user terminals and concludes that a multi-platform environment
is most likely to develop to provide services on demand wherever users
want to access them.
The Communication identifies the voluntary moves on the part of the 3G
industry to achieve interoperability and no action needs to be taken to
allow more open access.
The report says the 3G industry is actively pursuing standardisation
activities to achieve end-to-end interoperability of services. This EC
concludes that, in light of existing initiatives, the efforts of industry
and the lack of actual roll-out of services warrant a 'wait and see' approach
before any consideration could be given to whether new policy initiatives
might be needed for purposes of ensuring interoperability.
The EC's report on the roll-out of 3G mobile communications noted the
importance of an open mobile environment and recognised that industry
had already initiated efforts to find solutions for the challenges of
openness and interoperability via the creation of the Open Mobile Alliance.
The Commission will monitor the value chain surrounding the offer of 3G
mobile services and would consider action if the evolution of 3G towards
an open and competitive service environment would be jeopardised by proprietary
solutions chosen by individual players.
