Rogers is the first in North America to test the 3.5G

Of course, Now that it does not even talk of WiMax as in the United States, then it is understandable that Rogers is the first company in North America to test the generation 3.5. The tests were conducted in the cities of Montreal and Brampton, Ontario. We talk more specifically HSPA / UMTS that will allow speeds of 7.2 Mbps. Rogers says they had invested about $ 500 million since the last 2 years in its 3G cellular network.

"The consumer appetite for mobile applications is undeniable in Canada and around the world," said Rob Bruce, President, Rogers Wireless." The data speeds achieved in this trial will enable Rogers to meet our customers' needs with the most advanced, innovative services today and in the future."

    Great! Now Rogers can drain your bank account faster than ever before. That 3 MB MP3 song you just downloaded in 4 seconds on the new 3.5G service just cost you $30 (at Rogers' overage rate) in addition to the $45 you spent on the basic voice service.

    This is insane, how the hell can any one really take advantage of this, while paying through the nose for data rates.
