| Re: Gotta' Love Europe Overall Western Europe has a higher population density than the US. The population of Sweden (and Norway, for that matter) is concentrated in the south due to the climate. Not too sure about Sweden but the northernmost parts of Norway have some really messed up day/night cycles.
Either way TeleSonera is not launching an LTE network nationwide they are at this point launching in Stockholm.

Asia and Europe are ahead of us in many regards. Americans seem to be stuck on old technology and don't seem to care alot about it. | |

Americans seem to be stuck on old technology and don't seem to care alot about it. Its more the economies of scale, all Europe and Asia use the same system. The Americas, and some other parts of the world, use a different frequency scheme. Plus the USA uses the most CDMA, so we could never benefit from certain type of innovation.

kudos:1 | numbers meaningless 20-80 mbps? Do engineering sample handsets support that speed (AKA never commercialized)? Does the average LTE handset support that? and are those speeds with exactly 1 users on the tower? whats the bandwidth per tower? whats the backhaul on that tower? | |

| Re: numbers meaningless TeliaSonera is obviously trying to get as many folks to sign on as possible in order to stress test the network. Depending on how much spectrum TS is using for LTE, 20-80 Mbps could in fact be real-world speeds. I'm sure at those prices there will be a number of Swedes testing the service and posting back here with results.
Realistically, I'd expect 20 Mbps downstream over the network, since we're talking about a country that has government-subsidized fiber pretty much everywhere.
*shrugs* I'd take LTE for $70 per month as long as it isn't transfer-capped  Which is possible...T-Mobile is wholesaling unmetered MBB accounts for $40 per month at this point (see »mydatajack.com) | |

| what lte will mean in the usa Well, if its $70 in sweden, that means it will be about $150 here in the usa for less than HALF the speeds, data caps, and other taxes/unfees added on, oh yeah, and application limited as well-- no p2p & voip for you!
And for all that you can suck up to verizon's and at&t for it too...
The bandwidth is possible in handsets, but good luck on getting more than 2 hours battery life using it at full speeds. With an offer like that.. using free wifi looks better than ever.. though for that you'll probably need a netbook/laptop with an external big hard drive, as portable wifi handsets are few, far between and just as expensive for the piddly little capacity flash they offer you (itouch included-- 64gb @ $400+ is crap). | |

kudos:14 | Re: what lte will mean in the usa And if anyone here took the article and gave it to a native Swede, they'd go "oh god, Telia, fuck that".
See, that's the thing. You can't just look at the numbers -- Telia's an awful ISP (I've had to deal with them in the US for that matter), and pretty much every Swede will agree with that statement.
