« 3G: Who has the best network? | Main | iPhone biggie sized? What about this concept? »

3G will get much faster, AT&T says

Go, Speed Racer, go! And hold onto your iPhone.

According to an article today at Electronista, AT&T's head honcho says that the 3G you see today is nothing compared to the 3G you'll see in 2009.

Speaking at Morgan Stanley's communications conference, AT&T mobility chief Ralph de la Vega said AT&T's HSPA network will be improved from current theoretical peak downloads of 3.6 mb/sec to about 20 mb/sec in 2009.

And that's before 4G, which is more commonly known as LTE or Long Term Evolution. Those speeds are expected to reach 100 mb/sec. The article mentions exactly what I was thinking before I reached this point in it and that's this: Now we know why AT&T didn't address Sprint and Clearwire the other day ... while Sprint and Clearwire could in theory bring ridiculously fast speeds to the plate first, they might not. And if they don't, AT&T is right behind waiting.

In the end, the speed racer in mobility is always going to be a race.

You can read the rest of the specifics and some quotes from de la Vega here.

Let me know what you think. This at least makes me feel better, although I already knew that speeds would just continue to increase as time passes. Now at least we have a general idea as to how much.

Thanks for calling.
