Title:	Services and service capabilities on terminals

TSG-T would like to confirm to TSG-SA that each service or each service capability should be optional on terminals, i.e. there is no mandated service on terminals. TSG-SA is asked to send back the LS answer and clarify concerning this issue on the specifications.

From the terminal perspectives, it is required that any services or any kinds of the combination of services and service capabilities should be implemented on terminals without any restriction by the selection of manufactures, operators and requests from users. The primary principle of UMTS is to deliver a wide variety of services and a wide range of terminals. 

If some services would be mandatory on terminals for Release 99, TSG-SA is asked to identify what services or service capabilities would be mandatory on terminals, as the conformance test of terminals should be prepared for mandated services at the first priority.
