Re: That GSM (3G) thing comes to mind True about global acceptance, however it's global acceptance at 3.6 or 7.2 Mbps. Nobody really has a fast mobile broadband network except TeliaSonera with their LTE, Clear WiMAX and Telstra with HSPA+. Of the three, Telstra's HSPA+ is the slowest.
In contrast to HSPA/+, any good CDMA phone now has EvDO Rev. A, and even if it doesn't the lower tech won't drag down the system like an HSPA 1.8 device might AFAIK. EvDO r0 uses the 1xRTT upstream carrier rather than EvDO, leaving that frequency clear for rA devices.
Yes, global market penetration is nice, but global markets have ADSL2+ where we have DOCSIS 3 as our fastest internet. Ill take DOCSIS 3...it can go faster. |
