Summary:

Rapid growth in the number of subscribers of mobile wireless telecommunications services in the United States and abroad is fueling interest and developments in the next generation of wireless technology services, known as 3G. 3G services might include high- speed mobile Internet access and the ability to use the same handset anywhere in the world. Issues related to the implementation of 3G center mainly on the allocation of spectrum and adoption of technology standards by each of the countries developing this new service. While some steps have been taken to coordinate these activities, much work remains before 3G services will be available to the American public.
