The Third Generation

3G, or too give it its full name, International Mobile Telecommunications-2000, and is the third generation of wireless technologies. What makes it better than it's predecessors is its high speed transmission, advanced multimedia access and global roaming and IPTV support (TV through the phone). Its main use is it's ability to connect mobile devices to the Internet and allow voice and video calls between people.

Unlike Wi-Fi hot spots, which tend to be free, 3G requires you to be subscribed to a service provider to get connected.

A slight disadvantage of 3G is it's cost, it's not very cheap, however that is counterbalanced with the service it provides some would argue that the price is worth having Internet access on the move. Some providers offer it in expensive packages, however some offer plans where the user pays for the amount of data transferred, reducing the cost if you don't use it all the time.

So is 3G worth it? Hell yeah.
