High Level Objectives
1 The MRPs role is to provide market and customer
requirements to drive standards decision-making
and solutions.
2 The MRPs support collaborative standards-making
at the global level in order to bring the benefits of
new services, economies of scale and new non-
proprietary technologies - coupled with widespread
access, interoperability, roaming, a wide choice of
terminals and user terminal compatibility - to the
mass-market.
3 With their respective market knowledge, the MRPs
are working together where appropriate to maximise
the value of their inputs to 3GPP in order to provide
the best possible market solutions.
4 MRPs remain free to present their individual
positions consistent with the working practices and
consensus-building protocols of 3GPP and its
Operational Partners.
5 In addition, the MRPs are working together on
matters of common interest which relate to the
successful launch and development of networks,
applications and services based on 3GPP
specifications, for example on timing, spectrum,
licensing, regulation, and interoperability.
