McDowell Every so often American consumers find themselves on the threshold of an exciting new opportunity to transition away from old and obsolete products and embrace powerful new technologies. America's inventors are amazing, and each day they offer us new creations that make our lives easier. Those of us with some gray hair can remember quite a few technological leaps, such as when we evolved from: AM radio to FM stereo; VHS tapes to DVDs; analog to digital broadcast TV; and over-the-air TV to cable. These changes provided greater efficiency, higher quality content, and better, more reliable services. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1063252/it39s-time-for-3g-to-ride-off-into-the-sunset?email_access=on
