Does this imply that the N810 WIMAX edition will eventually be modified to support Java? Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks, LLC -------- Original Message -------- Subject: WCA's 4G Global Update: October 31, 2008 Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:12:18 -0400 From: gdc@xxxxxxxx Reply-To: neil@xxxxxxxx To: WCA GDC <gdc@xxxxxxxx> // _Today’s Headlines __October 31,__ 2008___ **_U.K._****_ Regulator Publishes 2.6 GHz Spectrum Award Update_** **U.K. regulator Ofcom has issued another update on progress towards its spectrum auction in the 2.6 GHz and 2010 MHz bands, this time stating that all the legal action should be finished off by February next year, allowing the regulator to set an application date for late March 2009. The spectrum concerned comes in three chunks. Mobile operators T-Mobile and O2 are working on delaying action, arguing that the auction shouldn't take place until a decision on 900 MHz has been made, coincidentally preventing anyone from buying up the frequencies and deploying WiMAX or similar technologies, reported ****The Register****. It continued: Ofcom's opinion has always been that the spectrum should be sold off as quickly as possible, and on a technology-neutral basis, so companies can start deploying wireless services to compete with the incumbents. Those incumbents, however, might bid for some spectrum themselves, but argue they can't decide until they know what's going on with 900 MHz, which is currently limited by license to GSM 2G technologies. That license could be updated to allow 3 or 4G technologies.

In an effort to save device-to-connection manager integration time and money, XOHM worked with chipset, device and connection manager OEM’s to create a common Connection Manager Application Programming Interface (API), which has been submitted to the WiMAX Forum for adoption. The open source connection manager is being written in Java and is cross platform. Currently, work is being done on Windows, OS X and Linux. The XOHM Developer Program is a full Web 2.0 community. Blogs and discussion forums are set up and being used now to address questions about the connection manager.

However, in the past six months, there have been some dramatic improvements in both the technology and its cost-effectiveness. As a result, we are evaluating WiMAX equipment from various vendors as we prepare to deploy WiMAX at selected locations in our networks where this new technology will be most effective,” said ERF Wireless CEO, Dr. H. Dean Cubley. ERF Wireless is currently in the process of evaluating various brands of WiMAX equipment, and then will begin limited deployment of this new technology in selected WISP and oil and gas markets across Texas, New Mexico and Louisiana in the U.S. *_Milcom Systems to Launch WiMAX Services in Thailand_* Milcom Systems is testing WiMAX service in Chonburi province of Thailand, reported *The Nation. *The company expects to finish the trail within next month, and plans to provide the service next year.

Globally harmonized spectrum, flexible use, consistent regulatory treatment and interoperability are required for such bands to achieve this potential. To advance this goal, the Wireless Communications Association International (WCA) created the Global Development Committee <http://www.wcai.com/taskf_gdc.php> (GDC) for service providers. This newsletter advances GDC’s work by keeping opinion leaders abreast of worldwide developments.
