The Future of 3G |

There’s no doubt what is wanted for the future of 3G, and that’s convergence. Leading 3G figureheads around the world want a convergence of the phone networks, to unite the world as a whole with a wireless technology that is compatible across the globe.
There’s a good chance this will happen, as it has already begun to. And it possible won’t be far off that we see perhaps a sub-standard introduced that converges the different 3G standards into one global roaming capable standard. On the horizon is 4G, which promises to bring true convergence of internet’s IP protocol technology to mobiles. By the time 4G is distributed, IPv6 will be well on its way, and the possibilities will be endless. Ever thought about texting your boiler to tell it to get the heating on just as you leave work?
