3G - Third Generation Wireless
The technology jargons are again all over. Advertisements about new services are out. And the latest is all about 3G. If you ask the average consumer what 3G is all about, they will tell you that 3G enables two people to talk to each other using a mobile phone with voice and video capabilities. But 3G is more than video conferencing, it offers more, that would change our lifestyle and the way we do business.
OPENING PAGES
Before I met Tim Unwin, I thought Geography was just about the study of countries, their boundaries, the people, etc. I must admit that back in college, half the time I spent in Geography class was talking to my seatmate such that when it was time for the final exams, I could only draw a very crude resemblance of the major continents.
Securing the 3G World

Delivering 3G Killer Applications
3G has become viewed by many Asia Pacific service operators as the “savior technology” that will provide a significant increase in ARPU via subscriber spending on high value added applications that at last, have sufficient broadband to have them delivered competently. 3G has been hyped along the lines of a small group of possible “killer applications.” Because of this, the person-on-the-street knows surprisingly, almost discomfortingly little about 3G, and only associates the technology with that small group of applications which include high speed mobile Internet access, video telephony and perhaps the delivery of TV broadcasts to mobile phones.
3G Comes A-Calling
Announcements made by the country’s leading mobile phone service providers and by the National Telecommunications Commission about their 3G technology plans must have sounded ominous to a considerable number of philandering husbands out there. Unlike today’s “unseeing” 2G or GSM phones, 3G phones with their videoconferencing capability will make it a lot harder for one to claim being in a business meeting when in fact he is out visiting his favorite watering hole on Quezon Avenue.
3G to Pick Up Pace in Asia/Pacific
According to IDC's latest Competitive Analysis report, "3G Developments in Asia/Pacific (ex-Japan): No Turning Back", 3G subscribers reached 10.5 million in 2004, and is expected to reach 142.6 million in 2009, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 68.5%. As the various strategic components for a successful 3G model start to come together, 3G will start to gain momentum as the rate of adoption is influenced by the quality of the user experience.
Are We Ready for 3G?
Like any hot tickets in concerts, sport events, and others, telecommunication providers in the Philippines are scrambling to get the hottest ticket in the mobile world - a 3G license. Companies are paying millions of pesos (bonds) just to be able to get that illusive license to offer 3G services in the country not to mention their investments in setting up the 3G infrastructure.
Evolution to 3G Mobile Communication
The evolution of mobile communication has reached the age when individuals can carry around their personal communication spaces. These spaces are becoming increasingly convenient due to the evolution of communication infrastructure, resulting in broadened bandwidth (2G to 2.5G and then 3G) and upgraded mobile communication services. The evolution of cellular communication systems is commonly known by 1G, 2G and 3G designations, the latest being 3G, and 4G as the next which is designed for high-speed data transmission.
3G is here
3G is short for ‘third generation’ mobile communication technology. A 3G phone can be used to transmit text, voice, multimedia data, and emails, and be able to connect to the Internet. The much-hyped service for 3G mobile was video telephony.

Microsoft's Jim Allchin suggested that you upgrade to Microsoft's upcoming operating system, Vista, for its safety and security ( http://news.com.com/Allchin+Buy+Vista+for+the+security/ 2100-1012_3-6032344.html?tag=nl ). Personally, I agree with Mr. Allchin. Microsoft Vista was designed with security in mind and not as an after-thought, like all the Windows operating systems to date. However, what does it take for you to upgrade to Vista?

Digital Citizens
A few weeks ago, I reported a problem encountered by many SunCellular subscribers - their "unlimited" service seems to be turning into "limited" now. The P 350 (call and text) and the P 150 (text only) unlimited service which is supposed to last a month is being cut prematurely by SunCellular, from one month to one week. No announcement or advisory was made; they just cut the service.
