After being postponed several times in the last two years, the long-awaited auction process for 3G services is well on its way and mobile subscribers in India can soon expect to see a revolutionary change in the way telecom services will be available to them.
3G is all about speed, speed, and more speed! 3G represents a paradigm shift from the voice-centric world of the previous generations of wireless networks to the multimedia-centric world of 3G. Simply put, it will shift the focus from the ears to the eyes. It is the next generation of wireless network technology that provides high speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to hand held mobile devices. The high data transfer rates will allow 3G networks to offer multimedia services combining voice and data. The characteristics of 3G services will ensure ‘always on’ Internet download speeds of up to 2Mbps. Have a look!!!
Suddenly, the hours traveling on the road or rail or waiting at airports or in between meetings will become productive and entertaining for all of us.
If you want to join the party, make sure that you buy a 3G compatible mobile phone, the next time you are in the market to replace your faithful but soon to be obsolete 2G device.
