Ericsson to Triple EDGE Speeds
What a waste
And 1 Mbps is pretty fast and should meet most people's needs. There are some people with home DSL service slower than that.

Why don't they just use the time and funds to expand the WCDMA network TO cover those not currently covered. 🙄
I don't think the back plains of Zimbabwe want to update a network that they just installed to impress just you...
If you were telling me this was coming out mid-year, then I would crap a filiment log.

I just thought the same thing word for word.
Hell, by 2009 we'll have moved on to 5g.

Not likely. Here in the U.S., we may just be finishing a 4G rollout, and looking to move to 5G tech.

I was being facetious.
What's the point of speeding up EDGE when it's very likely 3 and 4g will be firmly established in all markets?
Also, the U.S. isn't the target audience for this, just a benificiary.
Ericsson is the world's leading EDGE supplier, supporting a majority of the 196 commercially launched EDGE networks ( GSA January 2007 ). Ericsson EDGE brings 3G capability to the GSM network by substantially increasing data performance and capacity. It does this through a software upgrade of existing equipment, a fast and easy way to reach the mass market with 3G services.
Because thats one major benefit of a 3G network. I can talk with a customer while i am looking at their server to see what is wrong.

It depends on the network. CDMA2000 operators like Sprint, Verizon, and Alltel don't offer that 3g capability, but Cingular does.

Funny how you're in my mind and know exactly what I've read and what I haven't.
Pfft.
But yes, I DID read every word of the news release, and yes I did understand it. What I don't understand is effort expended ...
