Founded in January 2002, 3G Americas unites mobile operators and manufacturers
in the Americas to provide a single voice to represent the GSM family of
wireless technologies—GSM, GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS (WCDMA). The founding members
of 3G Americas wanted a single organization that could globally address
the converged operator networks and their seamless evolution to future generations.
This marks a significant milestone for the advancement of the GSM family
of technologies and ensures a smooth transition to Third Generation (3G)
services.

3GPP2 is focused on North American and Asian interests, 3GPP2 is a sister
project to 3GPP, both of which were born out of the ITU’s "IMT-2000" initiative,
covering high speed, broadband, and Internet Protocol (IP)-based mobile
systems featuring network-to-network interconnection, feature/service transparency,
global roaming and seamless services independent of location. This project
aims to develop global specifications for ANSI/TIA/EIA-41 evolution to 3G
and global specifications for the radio transmission technologies (RTTs)
supported by those standards.-Alabama-

The American Alliance of Service Providers is an organization that was set
up to join together ISPs in a unified front. AASP also has other Internet
related companies offering web design and web hosting as members. They,
as a small ISP watching the events in the ISP industry, had concerns about
the future of the small to medium sized ISPs. They decided that to get ISPs
better pricing and other benefits that a group effort would be needed, and
so AASP was born. AASP has grown to over 800 ISPs.
