Australia-based Telstra will be among the first mobile operators in the world to upgrade its network to enhanced HSPA, which is also known as HSPA+. Once the upgrades are finished, lucky Australians on the carrier’s Next G network will experience download speeds of up to 21Mbps! That’s twenty-one megabits per second baby.
Naturally, that’s just one step on Telstra (and other carriers’, for that matter) route towards LTE, when speeds will be increased even more. In the meantime, until LTE arrives globally we would like to see other telcos adopting Telstra’s route, instead of waiting for the LTE. Twenty megabits is quite enough to keep us in the loop for some time, don’t you think?

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
