Cornered! is a blog devoted, most of the time anyway, to telecommunications: local and global issues, technology, people and trends from the perspective of someone who's been reporting, analysing and commenting on the industry since the dark ages (BC - before competition). Sometimes serious, sometimes flippant, sometimes frivolous. Controversial, analytical, informative, amusing, but never boring; a vehicle for examinations of important issues and observations on my encounters and experiences in an industry where polarised views and hyperbole are the norm.

Page 2 of 2 In the absence of more detail from DoCoMo, analysts have been trying to read between the lines of the announcement. Heavy Reading senior analyst Patrick Donegan was reported saying he believed DoCoMo would be among the first to adopt LTE commercially. "The materials DoCoMo has released with this announcement references HSDPA supporting only 14.4Mbps in the downlink whereas 3GPP is evolving Enhanced HSDPA to go to 40Mbps in the downlink and potentially beyond that as well. This suggests that DoCoMo may have a relatively short life cycle in mind for HSDPA, with a view to being among the first to commercialise UTRAN LTE." Featured Whitepaper

DoCoMo adds "The 3GPP...is currently discussing standardisation of Super 3G under the name LTE. On the basis what DoCoMo has said it seems to me it is not putting too much faith in the LTE timetable and looking to some interim solution with a view to implementing LTE at later date when it is sufficiently mature and able to deliver the data rates DoCoMo clearly believes it will need in a few years time.{moscomment} |
