Action Lines in the 3rd Call should not be seen
in isolation from those called in subsequent
calls Integration of various access
technologies contributes to the further longer
term evolution towards 4G (4the Call) and to the
further evolution of software reconfigurable
systems and networks (call 5). The subsequent
calls should thus open the possibility to take
maximum advantage of the work put in place
through the first three calls.
