TSG-SA Working Group 1 (Services) meeting #2	TSGS1#2(99)199
Edinburgh, Scotland 9th-12th March 1999	

Agenda Item:	9.0.8

Liaison Statement

From: 	TSG-S1
To: 	TSG-T2, TSG-N3

Subject: 	Real time fax services

TSG-S1 has identified market requirements for the support of real time non transparent group 3 fax services using ITU-T T.30 in UMTS R99. As a result, it will be required to provide mechanisms for real time interworking towards group 3 fax machines located in PSTNs. Technical groups are invited to consider mechanisms for supporting these new requirements.

Please note that these requirements arise as as a result of inputs from non-ETSI organisational partners, and reverse the previous deletion of the requirement to support real time fax services. Therefore TSG-S1 proposes to produce appropriate amendments to 22.00.
