Barriers To Adoption and Its Prevalance In The Future

The Barriers To Adoption:


·         High costs of monthly data plans
·         Expensive 3G devices (iPhone, Blackberry, iPad, etc..) 
 ·        Lack of widespread coverage, like 3G’s possible geographical signal locations (Might not be true anymore)

How Prevalent Will The Technology Become?:

·       3G still is relatively expensive to average consumer, therefore, it’ll not be as largely prevalent .. Since companies are now investing in 4G network technology, then 3G networks will most likely be discontinued because other companies will probably want to stay up-to-date as well in terms of a competitor’s perspective
