3G Americas and CITEL
3G Americas is the latest Associate Member of The Inter-American Telecommunications Commission (CITEL) of the Organization of American States. With the increasing importance of the wireless telephony in the region and the need for broad private sector participation, 3G Americas will become an active supporter of CITEL's objective of promoting the continued development of telecommunications in the Western Hemisphere.
3G Americas will participate in deliberations of two of CITEL's permanent consultative committees "Public Telecommunications Services" and "Radiocommunications." Working together, both organizations will promote the coordinated introduction of advanced wireless services throughout the Americas.
