HSDPA - International Roadmaps

[ghl10000]

As we are an international community here I'd like to use the "collective brain" of this forum to get a screenshot of the HSDPA roadmaps of mobile operators worldwide.

So I'd like to ask everybody herewith to contribute on the HSDPA plans of the operators in your home countries.

To start this thread here the status within Austria:

Country: Austria - AT
Operator: Mobilkom Austria
Launch of HSDPA: now
Device promoted: Vodafone Mobile Connect Card
Special Price Plans: no
Data Price Plans: yes (e.g. 500MB for EUR 29)

Sounds like you on of the first in the west to get it. South Africa (Vodacom) will launch on 2 April 2006.

I am currently in Israel, and as far as I understand from the media - Orange Israel (one of the local GSM providers), has announced that HSDPA is currently operated by them.

In Germany both T-Mobile and vodafone offer HSDPA since CeBIT, and seem to also offer a PC card for it.

USA has HSPDA however it is tuned to the 1900mhz band so it doesn't work :cry:

What is HSPDA¿ :oops:

[sandrobber]

hspda is a next gen of 3g that will eventually support high bandwidth however they are diffrent technologies and hspda in the usa runs on the 1900mhz band. These are both UTMS.
