EDGE is Officially Live

AT&T
Wireless: “AT&T Wireless took center stage at COMDEX as it announced
the availability of EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution), a
significant upgrade to its Next Generation wireless network. EDGE offers
average data speeds between 100-130 kbps — nearly twice as fast as
other national mobile wireless networks and up to three times faster
than traditional wired dial-up services.” It’s still $79.99 a month
for unlimited data, though. Even if I were on the road all the time, it
still seems a little steep. I
think there’s a lower price point for this; perhaps $49.99 a month would
attract more subscribers.
