World's First 21Mbps EHSPA/HSPA+ Data "Call"

Posted by kdawson on from the faster-than-a-bounding-kangaroo dept.

gadgetopia writes "Although data 'calls' on 21Mbps networks and equipment have been made in the labs and in demonstrations, Australia is the first place in the world where such a call has been made on a commercial, deployed 21Mbps eHSPA network, with a full commercial launch due early 2009."
