Abstract :
This work presents a detailed study of the rollout of 3G in the United Kingdom. It elaborates the aspects of network technology, the various consumer mobile terminals in use, service models, and pricing structures and describes the means through which users are made aware of the differences between 2G/2.5G and 3G, the methods whereby business models are changed and the efforts being made to increase the rate of penetration to a maximum. As 3G licensing, deployment and early launches are now becoming more of a reality in the Middle East, the UK´s experience could greatly benefit those interested in seeing 3G technology implemented.
