With favorable broadband Internet access via mobile phone, 3G communication supports TriplePlay functions, such as mobile TV and convergent communication services (voice and data communication).
In addition, 3G helps cellular operators to strengthen their voice communications capabilities. Currently, the main operators of 2G communication face a serious range of problems in some cities, which slows down their growth in the future.
