EDGE Is Spreading...
While lots of attention was paid last week to AT&T Wireless launching their nationwide EDGE offering, it appears that EDGE is showing up around the world. We've discussed this many times before - but now that 3G hasn't taken off as quickly as everyone expected, EDGE is making a lot more sense as a middle step (sometimes called 2.75G, because we just can't have enough middle steps). The article includes a nice little map showing where various EDGE deployments are being worked on, suggesting that it really is getting attention outside of the US and Canada.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
