1.4 Mbit to 1.7 Mbit? That doesn't sound very impressive, especially as this comes a week after a local network (3 Sweden) went from 7.2 Mbit to 14.4 Mbit. (with plans for HSPA Evolved with 21 Mbit by year-end, and 42 Mbit promised some time after that). Prompting another local operator (Telia SE) to claim they'll introduce LTE with 100+ Mbit in 2010.
can you compare the sizes of usa and sweden? that is why sweden can get hspa quicker in small country and usa is trying to upgrade high speed network all over usa. needless to say, usa will get LTE eventually in ~2010.
If the U.S. is too big to be technologically agile, perhaps you should consider splitting it up into smaller administrative regions. Perhaps you could call them "states" or something like that.
just cuz there are states has nothing to do with anything. all of that land still needs to be covered, regardless of how much you want to split it up. lets split up the states into counties. and split those counties into cities. and split those cities in neighborhoods. ...what does that have to do with anything? it all still needs to be covered.
btw, im just curious... if you roam from sweden to spain, will you still get that coverage by your carrier? will the data use still be included in your plan at no extra cost? ya, just wondering. cuz i can go from los angeles to new york and still get my at&t 3g with no extra cost. actually, i can go to any US owned territory and not have any extra charges.
so i'll take my 1.7 that works anywhere in the 3rd largest country in the world. and u can have your 21 that works in the 55th largest country. not that most websites even send data that fast anyway.
"promising that peak data speeds will eventually reach 20 Mbps as it switches over to HSPA+ between 2009 and 2010"
Interesting, I believe I just read that Telstra was going to support over 20 Mbps by Christmas. Funny how the US is so "technologically advanced" yet the phone companies are holding us back on this crap, that's so lame, 1.4 to 1.7 Mbps... Don't make me laugh, HAHA. Crap... Too late.
if it makes any difference, Sweden also has one of the highest suicide rates in the world!!! People over there are too Relaxed and Very depressed.... so, who cares about the speed of their Wireless Speed, Really?!
