All of these factors are interrelated. The first five have been and will continue to be addressed within
                ITU. System development and deployment relates to the practical aspects of deploying new networks,
                taking into account the need to minimize additional infrastructure investment and to allow time for
                customer adoption of the services of a new system. ITU will complete its work for standardization of
                IMT-2020 no later than the year 2020 to support IMT-2020 deployment by ITU members expected from
                the year 2020 onwards.

The timelines associated with these different factors are depicted in Fig. 5. When discussing the phases
                and timelines for IMT-2020, it is important to specify the time at which the standards are completed,
                when spectrum would be available, and when deployment may start.

6.2.1     Medium term

In the medium-term (up to about the year 2020) it is envisaged that the future development of IMT-2000
                and IMT-Advanced will progress  with  the  ongoing  enhancement  of  the  capabilities  of  the  initial
                deployments, as demanded by the marketplace in addressing user needs and allowed by the status of
                technical developments. This phase will be dominated by the growth in traffic within the existing IMT
                spectrum, and the development of IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced during this time will be distinguished
                by incremental or evolutionary changes to the existing IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced radio interface
                specifications (i.e.  Recommendations ITU-R M.1457 for IMT-2000  and  ITU-R M.2012 for IMT-
                Advanced, respectively).
