| What happened to 7.2Mbps? What happened to 7.2Mbps? Is ATT not able to supply that much bandwidth to the sites? They have some serious catching up to do with Sprint/Alltel in both performance and 3G coverage. Sprint/Alltel cover about 230m population with EVDO (they roam 3G to each other). I don't think ATT is much past 150m pops with 3G. | |

| Re: What happened to 7.2Mbps? True, that Sprint may have a better datacard ratio than Verizon Wireless, however AT&T has ~70 million GSM/3G subs, Verizon Wireless has almost as many, and lower churn rate.
Sprint has ~40 million CDMA subs + ~15million iDEN subs + MVNO.
I don't think in general, AT&T/Verizon Wireless are all that 'worried', as they have a lot of corp contracts as well as a large number of subscribers. Currently, I don't think that AT&T or Verizon is heavily promoting its datacards. Sprint on the otherhand is promoting data.

Doesn't matter who ATT considers competition, they are far behind the major players. | |

| Re: What happened to 7.2Mbps? You might want to talk 3G phones too, since ATT has data plans which allow tethering which works the same as a data card. You don't need the card if you can connect to your phone via Bluetooth or USB just about anytime you want.

clubs: | It says in the headline that its HSUPA yet in the quote it says HSDPA, did I read it wrong or theres a typo? That's still fast considering its running off of cell site. | |

| Re: What happened to 7.2Mbps? Both EVDO and HSDPA can get more than 2Mbps in the real world. It will depend on a few things
1) Version (EVDO REV 0 doesn't, neither does HSDPA 1.8)
2) Back haul
3) Spectrum/capacity
Won't do much good if these any one of these conditions aren't met.
