3G
Third
Generation.
A series of standards that will turbo-charge wireless data links.
Soon, European and Asian wireless carriers will be updating their
networks to handle super-fast, enabling real-time video and audio
streaming to mobile devices. This Dick Tracy-like technology
is not cheap, however, and some observers say the cost of deploying
such networks will delay adoption in the United States, where
wireless technologies have not caught on as quickly as they have
in other parts of the world.
