O2 Germany has stated it’s intention to be up to HSPA+ (that’s one step up from 3.5G by the way) by mid-2009. Rollouts, as with all things network-related, will be phased, and starting in Munich. Whilst there’s a theoretical max of 28Mbps, the reality will be about 8 Mbps, thinks O2.
Huawei is the vendor in the mix to provide the upgrade, so some nice cash going their way – of course, the thing that we need is devices (laptops, modems, phones) to take advantage of this. I can’t wait for the more extensive rollout of HSPA+ … wireless broadband is forging ahead in leaps and bounds … surely resulting in some mouthwatering new devices too

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
