How the decade-long unfolding of 3G is being morphed into the convergence of communications and computing is described. With this new technology direction, actors in both the mobile and computing industries have started fighting to define the next generation mobile standard.


Through the 1G and 2G mobile communications technology standardizations, the involved actors became smarter and were able to develop more sophisticated strategies. For the GSM camp, moving the whole GSM market to its favorable technology standard to control and dominate the market for the next generation mobile communications technology was extremely significant. In this situation, what could the actors in the GSM camp do? What could the CDMA camp and other actors who did not belong to either camp (actors in Japan and China) do? This chapter answers all these questions.
