AT&T Looks Beyond HSPA
Long Way Off
First of all, $20 billion over 10 years isn't that big of a network investment. Sprint has invested $3 billion in WiMax already and is set to spend another $7 billion in 2007.
Also, LTE isn't even a standard yet. Once it is a standard it takes time to create the equipment, test, revise the standard, tweak the equipment, mass produce the equipment, and install the equipment... And that doesn't even touch on the fact that they still have to develop handsets that can do LTE/HSDPA/GSM soft handoffs.
BTW link to show that LTE won't even be in its first draft until Sept 07. --> http://www.3gpp.org/Highlights/LTE/LTE.htm

I agree... at&t invested 1 billion in the Los Angeles area alone over the past couple of years, and most of it still doesn't have 3G.

I give credit to sprint
😲 Yes Sprint maybe the most powerful for a period of ten years wimax is capable of 70 megs download which is 490 megs of bandwidth and 30 megs of 210 megs of upload bandwidth the protocol sequence the death star at&t has released and will be building over time is capable of 50 megs of bandwidth upload 350 megs of bandwidth and the download link is 100 megs that is 700 megs of bandwidth over time at&t will be the data war between Verizon and Sprint sprint will be the most powerful for a long period of time but at&t deploys this amzing remarkable technlogy sprint will be left behind this is the truth people!!!

Are you seeing any indications at all that they're more aggressive than Cingular???
By aggressive, I mean, the network, the services, and the handsets, will be way, way different by this time next year, and maybe even surprise us.
So,. . . do yo...

Gosh!!! Your right, both Buffalo, and Syracuse should be 3G cities by now!!!
Who knows, maybe T-Mobile will cash in on Cingulars PROCRASTINATION and launch 3G in cities that Cingular doesn't yet have 3G.
I could've sworn I read an article saying...
