slightly OT - new list for UMTS discussions

All -

I realize this is slightly off topic, but I have just set up a mailing list for discussion of the UMTS specifications.  This list is not about building a specific implementation of UMTS (although it might lead to that) but it is instead a forum for discussion of the interpretation of the specifications.  It is my impression so far that the 3GPP documents are constructed so as to meet some minimum legal requirement for the specification of the technology while still avoiding the conveyance of critical information actually required to implement the system.  The likely purpose of this approach is to deter the implementation of 3G technology by anyone outside of the set of companies that staffed the specification committee.  The eventual product of this list could be an alternative, wikipedia-style spec that conveys all of the information needed to actually build some minimum-but-fuctional 3G system.  Anyone who is interested breaking down the door to this club, please subscribe here:

Thanks.
