[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
Change "SHALL" to "SHOULD"

[Reason for Edit]
Entire section 2 of the document on services is described as "SHOULD" on
page 3, line 26.  It does not make sense to make residential access a
"SHALL" requirement, when no other services are.  If it remains "SHALL",
there is a danger that the standard will try to address cost issues to
meet this "SHALL" at the expense of QoS issues, as all other services,
e.g. for commercial use, remain only "SHOULD" level requirements.

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
Change 802.16 P-MP Radio under column "Wireless Solution" for section
III of the pyramid to "Fixed Wireless Access"

[Reason for Edit]
Section III of the pyramid appears to describe MMDS-type systems.  The
PAR for 802.16.1 specifically addresses frequencies above 10 GHz, not
microwave (which although technically goes up to 30 GHz, is generally
understood to mean systems at 2.5 and 3.5 GHz).  Also, < 2 Mb/s is not
broadband, but is wideband according to ITU definitions.  Broadband
means above primary rate access.

Change "SHOULD"to "MAY"

[Reason for Edit]
Flexible asymmetry basically requires TDD.  802.16.2 has not determined
that TDD is feasible to meet coexistence requirements.  As such, it is
premature to put emphasis on such a feature.

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
Insert "at least" before "one BTS".
Change "BTS" to "BS" (base station)
Change "STS" to "SS" (subscriber station)

[Reason for Edit]
It will be awkward going forward to describe every cell site as
consisting of multiple systems.  The 'at least' allows the definition of
system to expand to include the whole cell site and associated
subscribers.  The reason for removing "transceiver" from the acronyms is
that one-way broadcast equipment may consist of only transmitter or only
receiver, not transceiver.
