AT&T to Pimp 3G! Five times faster?
Ok. let's not get crazy here people! Let's not get excited about an AT&T announcement or rumor only to find out later it was just a human error.
AT&T has 3G in the labs working at a speed of 7.2 megabits per second which is about double the theoretical achievable speed on current networks. By 2009 they want to deliver an amazing 20 megabits per second. That would be really cool and really fast. But is it doable?
AT&T are working on their HSPA which stands for High Speed Packet Access. After extending to 700Mhz 4G, speeds are going to multiply times five again to an sci-fi 100 megabits per second in 2010. All this according to AT&T's mobility chief Ralph de la Vega. Let's only hope that will be done as planned. As for the hardware, I am sure any smartphone will be ready for this move!
