What
is in a 3G Service Internet Package?
Many
phone companies took the advantage of offering a consolidated
plan for 3G service and Internet access, mostly broadband. This
is because the portal for connection used for both technological
applications are the same—the cell phone towers.
3G
is a technical jargon for third generation cellular phones. The
main focal point of 3G is to deliver network mobility
to end
users so they can access the Internet through their mobile
phones. This allows consumers to talk with someone over live
video feed and access to wireless broadband connection.
The
main concern of 3G providers is its being expensive in terms of
acquiring licenses. It is also very expensive to build the
necessary infrastructure such as cell phone towers that can
support this kind of technology. Although building the towers
may be easily sustained, it is costly to maintain them and keep
up with the adding numbers of users in terms of bandwidth
capacity.
Many
providers offer a joint package that allows users to have 3G
access on their mobile phones and Internet access to their
laptops on one billing. An end user may have the option to buy a
separate laptop hardware that can access the Internet or use the
phone to connect to the laptop and the web.
The
bad side is that some companies force their subscribers into
buying this package even if the end users do not need the other
service. The government has already taken the necessary action
to stop it and these greedy telecommunication companies will
comply.
