Thanks for the warm welcome.fast data transfer... on mobile... I think it sounds great as a marketing tool to say that we can get around 500 kb or more on our mobile - and it can be done. But for the first few years we'll be building a "voice" network. Later on will come the speed side of things. Though 2G will be around for quite a while yet.Japan - harriko - I am biligual in Japanese - and I love the place. Akihabura is the place to be, sadly I missed thte laatest expo there...Back to 3G -> The applications will come - soon. Now here's a thought --Since you have a bit of an interest in mobile + high speed data and perhaps computing, why not search the web and learn how to host your own mobile web sites ? All it takes is some fooling around - yes even with free services - to learn how these go together.I've seen this done by the blokes at work. But they don't know how to make a commercial reality out of it. There's a challenge for you !

Hi there 3G is the "new generation" in mobile phone technology. I have been working as a network designer for over 10 years in Australia on 2G networks [GSM], and am preparing to delve into 3G as we speak. 3G is still a digital network, like 2G, but has very different planning techniques - from a radio point of view. My main role has been designing and maintaining the 2G radio network, so I can answer questions about that. Tell us, what your interest is in 3G? Do you want to learn how it works (see http://www.umtsworld.com/) or visit Agilant, Ericsson or Nokia web sites for some "general" info about mobile networking.
