What is 3G?

As everybody is speaking about 3G, it is good to learn what is going on and going to be soon. I remember a sentence that says Internet age is over and mobile era starts, which becomes a fact every day...
I found a good page informing about 3G and to follow the developments. Link is here

Mobile telephony allowed us to talk on the move. The internet turned raw data into helpful services that people found easy to use. Now, these two technologies are converging to create third generation mobile services.
In simple terms, third generation (3G) services combine high speed mobile access with Internet Protocol (IP)-based services. But this doesn’t just mean fast mobile connection to the world wide web. Rather, whole new ways to communicate, access information, conduct business, learn and be entertained - liberated from slow, cumbersome equipment and immovable points of access.

What will 3G mean to users?

With access to any service anywhere, anytime, from one terminal, the old boundaries between communication, information, media and entertainment will disappear. Services will truly converge.
"Mobility" will be offered with many services that we currently regard as "fixed" – indeed, Mobile operators believes that mobility will become the norm for many communication services. We’ll be able to make video calls to the office and surf the internet, or play interactive games with friends at home - wherever we may be.
