Due to the dismissal of several sophisticated technologies by the apex authorities and the presenters of the 3G frameworks, there was a sense of panic within the various companies, as there was some or the other backdrops in those, which were not negotiable w.r.t the clause. This scenario created a sense of urgency in both the industry related people, the organizations as well as the scientists, keeping a track of the situation, and also the authorities, i.e. the IMT - UMTS. Due to lack of time and increasing network data transmission demands were threatening for serious infrastructure in capabilities to tackle the scenario, this was perhaps the best time for GPRS to get a foot in the door.

GPRS was the technology that was really fulfilling the most important clauses in the 3G, however, up to a certain extent. The GPRS called it the 2.5G. That clearly meant that its just a step ahead to reaching the then looking impossible 3G compatible technology. It was a giant leap from the simple GSM based machines to a much-sophisticated efficient data communicating devices. Thus, GPRS acts as just a step in the sea, to make the 3G perfect devices.
