3GPP is an acronym for 3rd Generation Partnership Project, a telecom industry partnership formed in 1998 to promote collaboration around communication standards. A sister project is 3GPP2, the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) International Mobile Telecommunications "IMT-2000" initiaitive. It's a co-operation between ARIB/TTC (Japan), CCSA (China), TIA (North America) and TTA (South Korea). Both standards try to establish uniform delivery of rich media (like pocket videos) over 3rd generation broadband cellular networks. Both standards are based on MPEG-4. See our overview article on MPEG-4.
