XIII. Read the passages below and choose the heading to each text. In two teams ask and answer questions about 3G Internet.

Difference between Wi-Fi and 3G Internet; Advantages of 3G; Expanded Networking; Access to 3G

a) ____________________________________

To access 3G Internet, a user must have a 3G compatible device like a mobile phone or a tablet. Most service providers require a subscription to use their 3G network.

b) ________________________________

Both WiFi and 3G Internet are similar; they provide users with wireless access to the Internet. The key difference lies in the fact that 3G networks also allow users to make phone calls and access other features from mobile devices, which require some sort of Internet connection to complete. WiFiŽ is mainly for surfing the Internet and typically a user cannot make a phone call using such a connection.

c) __________________________

Since 3G networks are more readily available than WiFiŽ, travelers may opt for 3G plans. Internet speeds are often slower on a 3G network than a broadband Internet connection, but the user can access the 3G Internet almost anywhere with signal coverage. This gives it a much broader range than other networks, which may be based on hotspots or hubs in certain areas.

d) _______________________________

Those people traveling for business who want to share a 3G broadband connection among a group of peers can set up a 3G network. To do so, the user needs a 3G router and modem, or a device that acts as both. The modem connects a computer to the 3G network and the router sends out a signal so others in the same room can connect to the Internet. One drawback of 3G Internet connection, however, stems from the short range it covers, typically only the size of a small room.
