Building on the huge success of its homegrown cellular system, Europe is planning a next-generation wireless system to handle data as well as voice, and-it is hoped-lay the foundation for universal roaming. The system being developed in the framework of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) is called UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). In parallel, the International Telecommunication Union, based in Geneva, is formulating IMT (International Mobile Telecommunications) 2000, which is to be a family of systems that will let users roam worldwide with the same handset, and which will include UMTS as a subset

... Their use, however, will be widespread comparatively late, according to the experts. The currently developed UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication-System) standard with a transmission rate of 2 Mbit/s already addresses the increasing importance of broadband wireless data communication and even higher data rates are already technically feasable [Johnston 1998, IEEE Spectrum 1999. But mobile terminal devices with rates higher than 10 Mbit/s will not be widespread among private users before 2006. ...
