Cingular's high-speed 3G network

Not sure whether this is news or just news to us, but Cingular is going to start testing their new high-speed 3G
cellular network in Atlanta this summer. And just like you'd expect from the American cellphone industry, they'll be using a completely different networking standard (called UMTS) than the ones that Sprint and Verizon are going to be rolling out (T-Mobile hasn't said what they're doing yet). Anyway, it's going to be at least a couple more years before they'll offer 3G nationwide, which seems like an awfully long time to wait, doesn't it?
