RE: stds-802-16: letter from ITU-R to IEEE 802.16
You are totally right Brian. There was little support for the maintenance of
8A-9B (Canada was one of them, considering that the fixed and mobile worlds were
converging). I'm sure we will see some interesting discussions within the
working parties when some technologies will not be clearly mobile or fixed. As
802.16 is currently a fixed only standard, it should be dealt with 9B. When we
get the e flavor, then we will see interesting discussions.

Given that 8A-9B gets disbanded, an interesting question arises as to
which Study Group to work with. SG 9 is very specifically fixed service
only, while SG 8 is very specifically mobile. 802.16e cuts across both,
so we may have to work with both.

We have received an interesting letter from ITU-R entitled
"Collaboration ITU-R/IEEE 802.16 on broadband wireless access":
http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/docs/L80216-03_20.pdf
The letter asks us to provide some material to ITU-R. I would like
have us approve a response at Session #29. Please let me know if you
would like to participate in drafting the content.
