Orange France has launched the High Speed Downlink Packet
Access (HSDPA) services in Toulouse and Bordeaux, using Nokia’s HSDPA
solution. Orange will be able to operate its network more
cost-efficiently with the Nokia solution, and offer its customers
faster data services and an enhanced service experience.

"HSDPA will offer significant speed and efficiency benefits
to us and our customers. We are delighted with the excellent
performance of Nokia’s HSDPA solution, which supports us in bringing
mobile broadband services to the market," says Nicolas Roy, Technical
Director, Orange France.

Fantastic news! HSDPA is starting to stand on two legs and make a serious push into the market. Would like to see it turn on in my area. GPRS isn’t that slow for Opera Mini, but hey faster service means I can create new usage models, and for carriers that means new fees to introduce.
