The world gets HSPA+, Japan gets LTE

Oh, the joy of cell phone technology. While for a while I thought, wow, HSPA+ is 3 times faster than current FOMA technologies in Japan, which means Canada, and the rest of the world, is finally getting up to speed, I now know that Japan is getting LTE by the end of 2009.

I mean, wow, but just wow. What it means is, while the rest of the world is getting 21 mbps downlink, Japan is getting 300 mpbs downlink, over the air!

It’s crazy. When you think that our super newest technology here is going out at the same time as Japan’s much more high tech LTE… I guess we have yet to catch up to the Japanese mobile market.
