3G includes high data speeds, always-on data access, and greater voice capacity. The high data speeds are possibly the most prominent feature, and certainly the most hyped. They enable such advanced features as live, streaming video. There are several different 3G technology standards. The most prevalent is UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System), which is based on WCDMA (WCDMA and UMTS are often used interchangeably)
