In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call comm.unicates its importance.  

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

Wherever you went in the large hall, people were talking about the same thing. The PT/ Wireless and Networks Comm. China（中国国际通信设备技术博览会）held in Beijing last year was the biggest telecom exhibition in Asia．There were 400 representatives from 21 countries. But everyone was speaking the language of technology and there was only one word on their lips-3G.  

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom industry Data speeds in 3G networks are much quicker than present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.

“Mobile data is not a dream; it’s not an option—it’s a requirement,” said Len Lauer, head of US communications company Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.

       With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home.

       Face-to-face video calls

       And don’t worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.

       However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.

       Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the UK Government awarded five licenses to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy four years later.

       International telecom companies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial phase before the phones can finally hit the shops.

“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,”said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile.“We expect that the 3G licenses will be given out late next year.”
