Telecom Italia has launched the first city-wide mobile broadband service offering peak speeds of 28 Mbps/s in download and 5.8 Mbps/s in upload. The service has launched in Milan, and is set to hit Rome in October.
Ericsson provided the equipment for the network upgrade, which [network] BTW is based on MIMO technology (Multiple Input and Multiple Output). Mentioned solution relies on two radio antennas at the same time to transmit data to a single consumer, making such high speeds possible.
After the two major cities, Telecom Italia plans to offer the upgraded mobile broadband service at national level. That’s, of course, until they start rolling out LTE network, which is also being made in partnership with Ericsson.

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.
