Engadget is reporting that T-Mobile is selling HSDPA enabled laptops in Europe. It costs about 500 euros, which is around 600 USD. HSDPA has been called “3.5G” as it is 3G but faster. It is capapble of 10MBps, which is faster than most broadband connection that the US has. US Telecoms won’t be happy when T-Mobile brings this over to the US. Hopefully, they’ll feel pressured and up the data rates to match or better HSDPA speeds or just lower the prices. Our Nazi telecoms will somehow force T-Mobile to lower the data rates under 1MBps. Maybe by holding T-Mobiles’s wife and kids as hostages.
