Subject: It's Time For 3G To Ride Off Into The Sunset
by Robert M. 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.
