Mobile Broadband to Hit 42Mb/sec In 2009

Barence writes "Mobile broadband speeds could hit a blistering 42Mb/sec as early as next year, according to Ericsson's chief technology officer. The idea seems far-fetched given that even the fastest dongles currently hover at around 7.2Mb/sec, but the technology to smash that barrier is thought to be just around the corner. One of the methods is very similar to the MIMO technology already used in draft-N wireless routers, but Ericsson believes a combination of factors may even squeeze that figure to 80Mb/sec in the longer term."

    WNBSITU stands for Will Not Be Seen In The Us

    Besides the fact you made up an abbreviation, you technically abbreviated an abbreviation of United States (of America).

    So can we just call ourselves U from now on and (States of America) is implied? Then we can call Australia, A. Europe, E. Africa....F? Antarctica... N?

    Sounds too confusing... perhaps we should just stick to a numbering system... now who gets #1...
