Abstract
In this chapter we give an introduction into the background of 3G mobile communication systems. We will start with a general definition and the basic concept. A short section is devoted to market aspects to acquaint the reader with the economic facts and expectations behind 3G. A description of spectrum issues follows before we highlight the currently ongoing standardization process and the organizations involved.
