	Understanding 3G Telecom Evolution Through Cladistics
		Recognizing that 3G has many roots in earlier technologies, one useful way to understand 3G telecom evolution is by applying the concepts of "cladistics." In an article by Guy Simpson, Vice President Applications Development, Catapult Communications, it suggests using cladistics to describe 3G standard development path.
		Figure 2 is a cladistics diagram that shows the evolution of 3G UMTS technology -- the primitive characteristic is GSM, a common base of technology that all members of the group support.
		This book discusses 3G services from the view of what is needed for the service to provide value to the user, what is the value proposition for the user, how will money be made out of delivering the service, and discussions on how revenue sharing propositions might work to benefit content providers and network operators.

	CDMA & 3G
		The CDG efforts are focused around an evolution strategy so that capabilities can be introduced in phases during the next few years, based on and leading to the complete capabilities of cdma2000.
		Looking at 3G from an operator’s perspective, preservation of investments made in infrastructure and spectrum are significant issues in defining requirements for technology migration.
		Whether new capabilities are labeled 3G or not is not of material importance since the real challenge is having advanced services ready for market when customers demand them, and delivering these services cost effectively.
