3G isn’t just about faster speeds. It’s about compelling multimedia experiences that are available now—and ones that we might not have thought of yet. The technology behind 3G makes cellular networks more efficient and powerful, opening up a world of new possibilities.

Continued Growth In order to realize a better return on their investments in 3G licenses, network operators want to get existing and new customers onto 3G networks as quickly as possible. There are two overarching reasons for this: capacity and value-added services. 3G networks have a greater capacity, which means that operators can serve more standard voice customers. Transitioning to faster 3G networks also allow a greater variety of value-added data services such as video telephony, Web browsing, and music downloads. Many data services that are available today don't need the promised megabit speeds of HSDPA - although future services will no doubt run at higher speeds. However, operators will need this extra bandwidth both to serve more standard voice customers and to provide higher-bandwidth data services. Without an enhancement such as HSDPA, operators will run out of room more quickly.
