The term "3G" stands for "3rd Generation Mobile Telecommunications". "3G" is a generation of standards for mobile telecommunication and mobile phones services, that fulfill International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000) specifications. The main function of this, it to allow Internet connection without the use of a modem. In addition to this, later releases of "3G" also provide a mobile broadband which allows the user to connect to a modem within their house.
At this present moment, I do not own a "3G" mobile phone as I rarely take interest in the model of phone I have. With this in mind, I do have friends which own this particular generation of phone.
"3G" is used by the public when consumers buy mobile phones that have been upgraded to "3G" standards; for example, the iPhone 3G and 3GS that was released in 2008 through Apple. In comparison to "2G" models; "3G" mobile phones receive and download data much faster. Since then, many mobile phone models have been upgraded to "4G"; again, for example, the iPhone 4 - released by Apple. The main difference between "3G" and "4G" is the Frequency Band which, on the "3G" models is 1.8 - 2.5 GHz, whereas on the "4G" models, it's improved to 2 - 8 GHz. Along with this, the Data Rate has been upgraded from up to 2 Mbps ("3G") to 20 Mbps ("4G").
Corporations would use the "3G" - or "4G" - features as a selling-point for their products. Many of the features each of these generation of mobile phone standards provide, would appeal to many consumers that have an interest in this area. Also, there is room for improvement, say, a 5th Generation. This again, would be a big selling-point for that company - especially, if the features are something completely new and convenient for all consumers.
