This document discusses the evolution of wireless networks and public mobile services. It describes the progression from personal area networks (PANs) like Bluetooth to wireless local area networks (WLANs) to public wide area cellular networks. It also discusses the standards bodies 3GPP and 3GPP2 that were formed to develop standards for third-generation (3G) mobile networks using core IP technology. This allowed for the development of high-speed mobile internet services as public mobile services evolved from basic text messaging to lower-speed and eventually high-speed mobile internet access.
