DoCoMo delays HSDPA rollout til next year
Excuse us whilst we recover from a brief fainting spell upon learning that for once, the good ol' U.S. of A. is actually going to be rocking some high-speed cellular technology ahead of its Japanese counterparts. DoCoMo is reporting a delay in the rollout of their HSDPA upgrade to their 3G network, which now won't start the testing phase until later this year. They'll have it commercially available by next year, but they're saying there's no way this will happen before April. Meanwhile, Cingular is set to unveil their HSDPA network later this year. Say wha? We're still not convinced it wasn't a misprint, but we're keeping the smelling salts close at hand just in case.
