If you listen to the marketers, 3G is the next big thing in the information world. Fact is , 2, 2.5 and 3G have been getting the marketing push for a couple of year now with no major increase in subscribers. Take a look at Ricochet, great product and service, lousy pricing and promotion. 3G will offer many advantages but will not replace the WLAN in corporate America. Because of bandwidth issues, 3G will gain acceptance slowly unless content providers get clever in developing real world business applications that can exploit a competitive edge. Consumer adoption will be slow in the states compared to countries outside our shores.
