By determination of 27 of June of 2002, adopted as a result of the previous resolution dated June 20, 2002, the following was clarified:

Whereas:

a) GPRS services may generally be perceived as a forefront of UMTS services, thereby contributing to innovation and promotion of the global and sustained development of the sector;

b) From the user perspective, it is mainly important to ensure access to a complete range of services, the number of possibilities associated with the "3rd generation" being anticipated;

c) In view of the natural expectations of users, they are mainly interested in a complete commercial services supply, regardless of the type of traffic (circuit switching or packet  switching), without which it is not possible or desirable GPRS services development;
