\"3G<\/a>With more competition in mobile wireless around the corner, Canadians are going to have more choices for broadband services as well.<\/p>\n

Most Canadians already have access to broadband service from multiple facilities-based suppliers: twisted pair; coaxial cable; fixed and mobile wireless; and, satellite. In fact, Canadians have among the world’s leading number of choices of suppliers.<\/p>\n

A new report from 3G Americas [ pdf<\/a>, 1.5MB] talks about the evolution of broadband services delivered over mobile networks.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Rogers announced the launch<\/a> of its world-leading HSPA+ network, starting off in Canada’s 5 largest markets, with the capability to deliver 21Mbps on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

Rogers, Bell and TELUS will be joined by multiple new entrants offering a variety of plans that could encourage a wireless substitution for broadband services perhaps in parallel to some people giving up their home phone service. <\/p>\n

In current deployments, HSPA users regularly experience throughput rates well in excess of 1 megabit per second (Mbps) under favorable conditions, on both downlinks and uplinks, with 4 Mbps downlink speed commonly being measured. Planned enhancements such as dual-carrier operation will double peak user-achievable throughput rates. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Broadband in Canada is faster and more competitive than most countries and well ahead of our neighbours to the south.<\/p>\n

Twisted pair, coax, fixed wireless, mobile wireless, satellite: how many choices of facilities do you have to connect?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
