Vodafone, Option kick off HSUPA offering in Germany - Engadget Mobile (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/07/09/vodafone-option-kick-off-hsupa-offering-in-germany/)
Some of us are still clamoring for mere 1.8Mbps HSDPA -- complete with a pedestrial 384kbps on the downstream side -- to go live in our neck of the woods, but that's not stopping Vodafone from rolling deep (way deep) in Germany. Voda has gone live in Bavaria with an Option GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA card, "customized to the exacting requirements of the operator" and offered at retail as the "Mobile Connect Card Express UMTS Broadband." The ExpressCard/34 offers a Cardbus adapter in box, firmware upgradeability, download speeds as high as 7.2Mbps, and a staggering (albeit theoretical) 1.45Mbps upstream. Mobile web server, anyone?
