Dr Graham Maile, director of strategic consulting with the technology specialists Plextek, has been appointed chairman of the UK third Generation Advisory Group (UKTAG) - a body which advises the Government on policy matters relating to the definition, standardisation and implementation of new mobile systems. This summer, the Government will issue up to five licences for UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks, which will deliver services such as high speed internet access, video conferencing and video telephony. “Mobile multimedia, enabled by UMTS, is set to be one of the major telecoms themes of the first decade of the new millennium”, commented Dr. Maile. “With UMTS licensing and technology standardisation moving ahead rapidly, 1999 will be an exciting year”.
