stds-802-mobility: RE: stds-802-16-mobile: Creating Unique Identities for the two mobility PARs [Procedural Request]
Roger & dear 802.16 members:
As the discussion on mobile PAR becomes heavy, can anyone estimate the
schedule impact? From a pure fix wireless player point of view, I am
more concerned about the delay of completing existing 802.16 than missing
the
additional market opportunity to include mobility support. I have no doubt
that
802.16 team has the resource to put out a standard with combined taste,
fixed and mobile access, we just need to watch schedule cautiously.
Let's agree to finish 802.16 (fixed part) first then expand the same effort
to include mobility. We have to create enough interest for chip makers to
build
802.16 standard ASIC. Consistent SPEC change, even minor, will never be
favorable
and may be jeopardize our main course. As for the MBWA group, I am not quite
sure
why they want to separate from 802.16, well, it may be another SG4 story,
smaller
crowd does not guarantee to reach destination faster if losing the critical
mass
of industrial support. It is a standard that we are talking about, after
all,
a standard requires joint compromise.

Folks,
I would like to make a procedural request regarding this interesting
discussion.
Namely: Please confine the discussion to
<stds-802-16-mobile@ieee.org> and/or <stds-802-mobility@ieee.org>.
Please do not copy the SEC reflector. The SEC doesn't want to be
involved in the details of this debate.
Also, you need not copy a list of people. Anyone interested is
already subscribed.
Thanks,
Roger
