Title:	SMS Section in 22.00 – proposed revised text

Document for:	Discussion

___________________________________________________________________________

The following is the text of an email which I sent to the S1_SMS list for consideration with respect to SMS and MMS.  It would be worthwhile considering this in S1 under the SMS discussion agenda item.
 
Could I suggest the following change to 22.00 from the SMS perspective:

Old text:

Short Message Service-Point to Point (SMS-PP): A short message service point to point shall be provided seamlessly (as far as the user or the users terminal equipment is concerned) across the UMTS and GSM access network. Additional features are planned for SMS in Release 99.
New text:

Short Message Service-Point to Point (SMS-PP): A short message service point to point shall be provided seamlessly (as far as the user or the users terminal equipment is concerned) across the UMTS and GSM access network. 
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS): A messaging service similar in concept to SMS shall be provided.  MMS shall have the capability to transfer short messages, long text messages, pictures, audio clips, video clips etc. depending on the capabilities of the networks and terminals in use.  MMS shall not provide streaming of video/audio clips - instead the clip will be transferred in its entirity for local playback.  It shall be possible for the user to control the extent of automatic transmission to the terminal (e.g. limit automatic transmission to short text messages).
