CCITT became ITU-T; ETSI is a separate organization. ITU-T is a worldwide standards organization; ETSI is a European one (although there are probably ITU-T standards that aren't used worldwide, and ETSI standards that are).

ITU-T does charge a significant amount of money (I've certainly spent a fair bit of money buying them, although the worst was, as I remember, on the order of USD 100-USD 150 for a standard - others are cheaper), but I'd be willing to subsidize the purchase of those to some degree.
ETSI doesn't charge anything:
http://www.etsi.org/getastandard/home.htm
"ETSI Standards can be downloaded free of charge on an individual basis on the Publications Download Area"
and, as I remember, the 3G standards are on the ETSI Web site, hence free.
