UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) : This is almost universally subscribed to standard for the third generation and is generally based on W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access). UMTS will launch in 2002, but full services for the general public will not arrive until around 2005. It promises a permanent internet connection of at least 384kbps and up to about 2mbps, combined with highly integrated devices and a super-fast back end.
